13. What assumptions are made in finding the natural frequency of a single-degree-of freedom
system using the energy method?
14. A spring-mass system, with a spring stiffness of 5,000 N/m, is subjected to a harmonic
force of magnitude 30 N and frequency 20 Hz. The mass is found to vibrate with an
amplitude of 0.2 m. Assuming that vibration starts from rest x0 = 0 = 0, determine the mass
of the system.
15. Find the natural frequencies of a simply supported beam subjected to an axial compressive
force.
SECTION-C
16. A heavy machine, weighing 3000 N, is supported on a resilient foundation. The static
deflection of the foundation due to the weight of the machine is found to be 7.5 cm. It is
observed that the machine vibrates with an amplitude of 1 cm when the base of the
foundation is subjected to harmonic oscillation at the undamped natural frequency of the
system with an amplitude of 0.25 cm. Find :
a. The damping constant of the foundation.
b. The dynamic force amplitude on the base, and
c. The amplitude of the displacement of the machine relative to the base.
17. Find the steady-state response of the system shown in Fig.1, when the mass m1 is excited
by the force F1(t) = F10coswt. Also, plot its frequency-response curve.
