Unit 2 Tutorial Solution Ahmed Sir

This document contains a series of questions and solutions related to mechanical vibrations of single-degree-of-freedom systems. Question 1 asks about the extension, static displacement, and amplitude of forced motion for a spring-mass system with a suspended weight and harmonic forcing. Question 2 involves finding and plotting the total response of a spring-mass-damper system under different initial conditions. Question 3 asks about the response of an inclined spring-mass system with harmonic forcing. The remaining questions involve deriving equations of motion and finding steady-state responses for various rotational and translational spring-mass systems, including systems with damping.
