A machine rests on spring mounts, which compress by 10 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 4 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 100 kg mass is supported by a spring with a stiffness of 150 kN/m and a viscous damper with a damping coefficient of 1940 N·s/m. Find the damping ratio ζ.
A 10 kg mass is supported by a spring with a stiffness of 25 kN/m and a viscous damper with a damping coefficient of 100 N·s/m. Find the damping ratio ζ.
A 100 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 = 40 kN/m and k₂ = 30 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 40 kg mass hangs from two springs connected end to end (in series): the upper spring has k₁ = 30 kN/m and the lower one k₂ = 15 kN/m. Find the equivalent stiffness keq of the spring system in kN/m.
