A mass damper is a weight placed inside a structure that moves in the opposite direction of the building's sway during an earthquake or strong winds. This helps to reduce the building's movement and vibration, increasing its stability and safety. The mass damper absorbs and redirects the energy, reducing the impact on the structure.

How do you know if the damper is open or closed?
On mine if you turn the nob clockwise, that openes the damper. If you trun the now counter clockwise that closes the damper. Yours may be different. Let me think. Did you have anything in your stocking this morning?

In most cases, the fireplace damper is open when the chain is up and closed when the chain is down. Pulling the chain up usually opens the damper to allow smoke and gases to escape, while pulling it down closes the damper when the fireplace is not in use.
Is work done when a force is a applied to a mass but the mass does not move?
No, work is not done if the force is applied to a mass but the mass does not move. Work is only done when a force causes a displacement in the direction of the force being applied.
What is difference between damper and shock absorber?
A damper is a component that dissipates oscillations or movements within a system, such as in a suspension system of a vehicle. A shock absorber is a type of damper specifically designed to absorb and dampen impact forces when a vehicle encounters bumps or rough terrain. In other words, a shock absorber is a specific type of damper used in vehicle suspensions to provide a smoother ride.
How does a helicopter Pfeiffer damper work?
A helicopter Pfeiffer damper works by using a rotating pendulum attached to the rotor head. The pendulum moves in response to changes in the rotor system's orientation, providing a counteracting force to reduce vibrations. This helps stabilize the helicopter during flight and improves overall control and handling.

I know a tuned mass damper is a device mounted in structures to reduce the amplitude of mechanical vibrations.
What is the purpose of a tuned mass damper?
to solve vibration problems
How does a fire damper work?
In the event of fire, the fusible link melts and the shutter gets closed. This helps in blocking the fire from spreading through the duct ----- If you are asking about a damper on a stove or chimney, that is not called a fire damper, but just a damper. There is a link to a question on that below.

How does a damper work?
A damper restricts the air flow. In a fireplace, the damper is closed to prevent air from going up the chimney, with a resulting loss of heat in the house, when the fire is not going. When a fire is to be started, the damper is opened to create a draft to vent the smoke. In a wood or coal burning stove, the damper is variable and can be used to regulate the draft. The more widely open the damper is, the greater the draft, and the hotter to fire burns. This sort of damper cannot be closed all the way, because it is necessary to vent slow fires. Sometimes, a stove will have multiple dampers for different purposes. For example, a wood cook stove will have typically a damper on the flue, to regulate the heat of the fire, and a separate damper so the cook can choose to vent the gasses from the fire directly into to chimney, which would be how a fire is started, or around the oven, so the oven can heat nicely once a good draft is established. In other systems where air is moved, dampers can be used to stop the motion of the air. A fire damper is one such system, where the damper is used as a safety device to prevent a fire from spreading.
