Important Question From Unit I

This document lists important past exam questions from university courses on vibration and dynamics. It includes questions that ask about types of vibration, equations of motion for single and multi-degree of freedom systems, damping, natural frequency, logarithmic decrement, resonance, forced vibration, static vs dynamic problems, and principles like D'Alembert's. Some multi-part questions involve deriving equations and solving dynamics problems for damped and undamped single degree of freedom systems.
