Answer:
c=80
Step-by-step explanation:
Based on my reading the critical damping occurs when the discriminant of the quadratic characteristic equation is 0.
So let's see that characteristic equation:
20r^2+cr+80=0
The discriminant can be found by calculating b^2-4aC of ar^2+br+C=0.
a=20
b=c
C=80
c^2-4(20)(80)
We want this to be 0.
c^2-4(20)(80)=0
Simplify:
c^2-6400=0
Add 6400 on both sides:
c^2=6400
Take square root of both sides:
c=80 or c=-80
Based on further reading damping equations in form
ay′′+by′+Cy=0
should have positive coefficients with b also having the possibility of being zero.

Right Triangles and the Pythagorean Theorem
The Pythagorean Theorem, a2+b2=c2, a 2 + b 2 = c 2 , can be used to find the length of any side of a right triangle.
The side opposite the right angle is called the hypotenuse (side c in the figure).
