Detailed Description

A linear damper on a mobility coordinate.

The damping constant c is provided, with the generated force being -c*u where u is the mobility's generalize speed. This is meaningful on any mobility, since all our generalized speeds have physical meaning. This is not a potential force and hence does not contribute to potential energy.
