A sieving machine weighs 6,500 lb, and when operating at full capacity, it exerts a harmonic force on its supports of 700 lb amplitude at 12 Hz. After mounting the machine on spring-type vibration isolators, it was found that m the harmonic force exerted on the supports had been reduced to a 50 lb amplitude. Determine the spring stiffness k of the isolation system.
