Assignment Two

1- The natural frequency of a spring-mass system is found to be 2 Hz. When an additional


mass of 1 kg is added to the original mass m, the natural frequency is reduced to 1 Hz.
Find the spring constant k and the mass m.

2- Drive the equation of motion, and then

Find the system natural frequency.

3- A uniform slender rod of mass m and length l is hinged at point A and is attached to
four linear springs and one torsion spring, as shown in Fig P3. find the natural frequency
of the system. ( k= 2000 N/m, kt = 1000 N-m/rad, m = 10 kg, and l = 5 m)

4- Find the equations of motion of the systems shown in Fig P4. Also find the natural
frequency of each system.

5- A simple pendulum is found to vibrate at a frequency of 0.5 Hz in a vacuum and 0.45
Hz in viscous fluid medium. Find the damping constant, assuming the mass of the bob
of the pendulum is 1 kg.

6- The ratio of successive amplitudes of a viscously damped single-degree- of- freedom


system is found to be 18:1. Determine the ratio of successive amplitudes if the amount
of damping is (a) doubled, and (b) halved.

7- A body vibrates with viscous damping makes five complete oscillations per second, and
in 50 cycles its amplitude diminished to 10 percent. Determine the logarithmic
decrement and the damping ratio. In what proportion will the period of vibration be
decreased if damping is removed?

8- Derive the equation of motion and find the natural frequency of each of the following
systems shown in figure P8.

Figure P8.

9- The system shown has a natural frequency of 5 Hz for the following data: m = 10 kg, Jo
= 5 kg-m2, r1 = 10 cm, r2 = 25 cm. When the system is disturbed by given it an initial
displacement, the amplitude of free vibration is reduced by 80 percent in 10 cycles.
Determine the values of k and c.
