PROBLEM4: The mass m, stiffness k, and natural frequency , of an undamped SDF system are unknown. These properties are to be determined by harmonic excitation tests. At an excitation frequency of 4 Hz, the response tends to increase without bound (i.e., a resonant condition). Next, a mass Aw=2 kg is attached to the mass m and the resonance test is repeated. This time resonance occurs at f= 3 Hz. Determine the mass and the stiffness of the system.

The mass m, stiffness k, and natural frequency , of an undamped SDF system are unknown. These
properties are to be determined by harmonic excitation tests. At an excitation frequency of 4 Hz, the
response tends to increase without bound (i.e., a resonant condition). Next, a mass Aw=2 kg is attached
to the mass m and the resonance test is repeated. This time resonance occurs at f=3 Hz. Determine the
mass and the stiffness of the system.
