1. An unknown mass of m kg attached to the end of unknown spring k has a natural frequency of 100cpm.When a kg mass is added to m, the natural frequency is lowered to 75 cpm. Determine the unknown mass m and the spring constant k N/m. [Thomson, ans: k= 70.461N/m] 2. Determine the natural frequency of the system shown in Fig.1. The point A (where the ends of the springs are attached to the cylinder) is at a distance a vertically above the centre. The cylinder rolls without slip. [Ghosh and Mallik, ans: [ 4k/(3m)]1/2(1+a/r) ]

Two cylindrical tanks of cross-sectional areas A1 and A2 are connected by a pipe of length l and cross sectional area Ap as shown in Fig.2. If h is the equilibrium height of the liquid surface, determine the natural frequency of oscillation of the fluid when disturbed. [Ghosh, ans: {g(1+
