Q2: A vibratory system has a mass m =10 kg, k =1500 N/m, and c= 2500 N/(m/s). Given
that the displacement response has the form 𝑥(𝑡) = 0.2𝑠𝑖𝑛(9𝑡) m, plot the graphs of 𝑥̈ , the
spring force kx, and the damper force cẋ versus time and discuss them.

Q3: Consider the pulley system shown in Fig. Sh2.Q3 The

mass of each pulley is small compared with the mass m
and, therefore, can be ignored. Furthermore, the cord
holding the mass is inextensible and has negligible mass.
Obtain an expression for the natural frequency of the
system.

Q4: A 45 kg mass is attached to rod AB and to three

springs as in fig. Sh1.Q4. determine the natural frequency
of small oscillations of the system if the mass of rod AB is
negligible. Under what conditions will stable oscillations
occur?

Q5: As in Fig. Sh1.Q5, a massless bar of length L is
pinned at its center. It carries a mass 𝑚 at its top end and a
mass 3𝑚 at the bottom. At the quarter point is attached a
𝐿
linear spring having a constant K. find the differenatial
𝐾
equation of motion and the natural frequency of small
𝐿/4
oscillations using the energy method.

Q6: For the fluid-float system shown in Fig. Sh1.Q6 , Jo is the mass moment of inertia about
point O. Assume that the mass of the bar is mo. Answer the following.
a) For “small” angular oscillations, derive the governing equation of motion for the fluid
float system.
b) What is the value of the damping coefficient cc for which the system is critically
damped?

Q7: The spring attachment point B is given a

horizontal motion XB =b cos ωt. Determine the
driving frequency ω for which the oscillations of
the mass 𝑚 tend to become excessively large.
Neglect the friction and mass associated with the
pulleys. The two springs have the same stiffness k.
