A machine rests on spring mounts, which compress by 25 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 machine rests on spring mounts, which compress by 12 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 2 kg mass is supported by a spring with a stiffness of 1 kN/m and a viscous damper with a damping coefficient of 10 N·s/m. Find the damping ratio ζ.
In a free-vibration test of a damped mass–spring system, a displacement peak of 20 mm is followed one cycle later by a peak of 10.6 mm. Find the damping ratio ζ.
A 100 kg mass hangs from two springs side by side (in parallel), with stiffnesses k₁ = 40 kN/m and k₂ = 10 kN/m. The mass stays level. Ignore damping and the masses of the springs. Find the natural frequency fn of vertical vibration in Hz.
A 20 kg mass hangs from two springs connected end to end (in series): the upper spring has k₁ = 20 kN/m and the lower one k₂ = 80 kN/m. Find the equivalent stiffness keq of the spring system in kN/m.
