SECTION-B
11) A spring mass system with mass m kg and stiffness k N/m has a natural frequency of 1 Hz.
Determine the value of stiffness k1 of another spring which when arranged in conjunction
with spring of stiffness k in series will lower the natural frequency by 20% and in parallel
will raise the natural frequency by 20%.
12) Describe and differentiate Coulomb and Viscous Damping in detail.
13) Add two harmonic motions analytically which are represented by the equations :
x(1) = 4 sin (7t+/6)
x(2) = 5 cos(7t-/12)
Compare the result with graphical representation.
14) Torque T is applied at the midpoint of a uniform cross-section circular shaft of length `l',
which twists the shaft by angle radians. If the torque is released suddenly, derive equation
for resulting motion.
15) Describe torsional vibration absorber with neat sketch.
SECTION-C
16) Explain the following :
a) Vibration isolation transmissibility
b) Torsional vibration of circular shafts
17) A beam having length of 0.42 m, moment of inertia 10000m4 and modulus of elasticity
196000 N/m2 is supporting two masses 40 kg and 20 kg at a distance of 0.16 and 0.24 m
from one end. Determine lowest natural frequency by Rayleigh's method.
18) Determine the normal function for the boundary conditions as one end fixed and the other
end free of a cantilever system of length `l', starting with the expression for strain energy
during free longitudinal vibration of bar with uniform area of cross-section.
