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.

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.
