A machine rests on spring mounts, which compress by 1 mm under its weight. Treat it as an undamped single-degree-of-freedom system and use g = 9.81 m/s². Find the natural frequency fn of vertical vibration in Hz.
A 10 kg mass hangs from a spring with a stiffness of 12 kN/m. Ignore damping. Find the natural circular frequency ωn in rad/s.
A 50 kg mass on a spring with a stiffness of 5 kN/m has a viscous damper giving a damping ratio of 0.35. Find the damped natural frequency fd of its free vibration in Hz.
A 250 kg mass on a spring with a stiffness of 100 kN/m has a viscous damper giving a damping ratio of 0.4. Find the damped natural frequency fd of its free vibration in Hz.
A 50 kg mass hangs from spring k₃ = 25 kN/m. The top of k₃ is attached to a rigid bar that hangs from two springs side by side, k₁ = 10 kN/m and k₂ = 5 kN/m; the bar stays level. Ignore damping and the masses of the springs and bar. Find the natural frequency fn of vertical vibration in Hz.
A 20 kg mass hangs from spring k₃ = 40 kN/m. The top of k₃ is attached to a rigid bar that hangs from two springs side by side, k₁ = 50 kN/m and k₂ = 50 kN/m; the bar stays level. Ignore damping and the masses of the springs and bar. Find the natural frequency fn of vertical vibration in Hz.
