The weight of an empty railway wagon is 400 kN. On loading it with goods weighing 600 kN, its spring gets compressed by 200 mm. (a) Calculate its natural period of vibrations when the railway wagon is (i) empty and (ii) loaded as above. (b) It is set into natural vibrations with an amplitude of 120 mm when empty. Calculate the velocity of the railway wagon when its displacement is 40 mm from statically equilibrium position.

A spring extends by 5 centimeters when loaded vertically with 2.5kg of weight. A new weight of 1.75kg was attached to it and was displaced 6cm from its new equilibrium position and was released from rest. Determine the frequency of vibration in rad per second?
[6] An instrument panel weighing 30 lb is installed in a vehicle on a flexible mount that has an equivalent stiffness k = 400 lb/in and negligible damping. As a result of engine vibration, the vehicle vibrates with a steady-state amplitude of o.25 in at a frequency of 40 Hz. Determine the steady-state amplitude of vibration of the instrument panel.
A weight attached to a spring of stiffness 3.0 lb/in has a viscous damping device. When the weight is displaced and released, the period of vibration is found to be 1.80 seconds and the ratio of consecutive amplitudes is 4.2 to 1.0. Determine the amplitude and phase angle when a force F-2cos(3t) acts on the system.
