Prob.1 A 0.453 kg mass attached to a light spring. It elongates 7.87 mm. Determine the
natural frequency of the system. If the preferred natural frequency is four times of the
above system then what should be combination of mass and spring stiffness.
[Ans: 5.62 Hz]
Prob.2 A 4.53 kg mass attached to the lower end of a spring whose upper end is fixed
vibrates with a natural time period of 0.453s. Determine the natural time period when a
2.26 kg mass is attached to the mid-point of the same spring with the upper and lower
ends fixed.
[Ans: 0.159 s]
Prob.3 Determine the effective spring stiffness and also find out natural frequency.

Prob.4 An unknown mass m kg attached to the end of an unknown spring k has a natural
frequency 94 cpm. When a 0.453 kg mass is added to m, the natural frequency is lowered
to 76.7 cpm. Determine the unknown mass m (kg) and the spring constant k (N/m).
[Ans: m=0.902 kg, k=87.439 N/m]
Prob.5 A Spring-mass-dmaper is excited by a force F0sin(ωt). At resonance the amplitude
is measured be 0.58 cm. At 0.80 resonant frequency, the amplitude is measured to be
0.46 cm. Determine the damping ratio ξ of the system.
[Ans: ξ=0.1847]
Prob.6 Determine the natural frequency of the system consisting of 22.967 kg mass
attached to a horizontal cantilever beam of negligible mass of dimension, Length=0.3175
m, width=2.54 cm., depth=0.635 cm. through the coil spring of constant k2 = 1870 N/m.
The Young’s modulus of the material is 206.643 GPa.
[Ans: ω=8.31 rad/s]
Prob.7 A harmonic motion has an amplitude of 0.20 cm and a period of 0.15 s. Determine
the maximum velocity and acceleration.
