1 a. Show that for finding the natural frequency of a spring-mass system, the mass of the spring
can be taken into account by adding one-third of its mass to the main mass. (06 Marks)
b. A section of a pipe pertaining to a certain machine vibrates with large amplitudes at a

compressor speed of220 rpm. For analyzing this system a spring-mass system is suspended
from the pipe to act as an absorber. A 1 kg absorber mass tuned to 220 cpm resulted in two
resonant frequencies of 188 cpm and 258 cmp. What must be the mass and spring stiffness

lo
of the absorber if the resonant frequencies are to lie outside the range of 150 cpm and
310 cpm. (10 Marks)
