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 8 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.
In a free-vibration test of a damped mass–spring system, a displacement peak of 15 mm is followed 5 cycles later by a peak of 0.6 mm. Find the damping ratio ζ.
An 8 kg mass on a spring with a stiffness of 2 kN/m has a viscous damper giving a damping ratio of 0.3. Find the damped natural frequency fd of its free vibration in Hz.
A 100 kg mass hangs from spring k₃ = 50 kN/m. The top of k₃ is attached to a rigid bar that hangs from two springs side by side, k₁ = 15 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 50 kg mass hangs from two springs side by side (in parallel), with stiffnesses k₁ = 5 kN/m and k₂ = 5 kN/m. The mass stays level. Find the equivalent stiffness keq of the spring system in kN/m.
