Question
(a) A mass suspended from a helical spring of
stiffness s, is displaced by a distance x from its
equilibrium position and allowed to vibrate.
Show that the motion is simple harmonic.
(b) A vertical helical spring having a stiffness of
1540 N/m is clamped at its upper end and carries
a
mass of 20 kg attached to the lower end. The
mass is displaced vertically through a distance of
120 mm and released. Find : 1. Frequency of
oscillation ; 2. Maximum velocity reached; 3.
Maximum acceleration; and 4. Maximum value of
the inertia force on the mass.
(c) A machine of mass 75 kg is mounted on
springs and is fitted with a dashpot to damp out
vibrations.
There are three springs each of stiffness 10
N/mm and it is found that the amplitude of
vibration
diminishes from 38.4 mm to 6.4 mm in two
complete oscillations.
Assuming that the damping force varies as the
velocity, determine : 1. the resistance of the
dashpot
at unit velocity; 2. the ratio of the frequency of
the damped vibration to the frequency of the
undamped vibration; and 3. the periodic time of
the damped vibration.
