You are pulling the trailer of manure (m-180 kg) down a country road from the chicken farmer's house to your garden at 5 m/s. Due to the quantity of heavy slow tractors that use the roadway, the road has developed the 'washboard' problem as shown in the picture, the wavelength of the bumps is 3.5 m, and twice the amplitude of the bumps is shown. The rate at which you drive over the bumps in the road act as a driver to the damped leaf-spring system that is on your trailer (c-3300 , k=650 ). You can make the semi-gross assumption that the largest force that the axle exerts on the leaf-spring system of the trailer is equal to the force of gravity. a) What is the amplitude of the oscillations of the pile of manure? b) Is the answer to part a a problem? Why? c) What should you as the person in charge of and in control of the vehicle do about the situation? 100 mm

Q2 The vibration in the vertical direction of an airplane and its wings can be modelled as a three-degree-of-freedom system with one mass corresponding to the right wing, one mass for the left wing, and one mass for the fuselage. The stiffness connecting the three masses corresponds to the wing and is a function of the modulus E of the wing. The equation of motion is: [1 0 0x₁ m 0 N 0₂ + 0 0 1₂ m xy (1) EI where N=2.5 (i.e. the fuselage mass is N=2.5 times the wing mass). The model is shown in Fig. 2. Calculate the natural frequencies and mode shapes. Interpret the mode shapes in terms of the airplane's deflections in each mode. Use the following data: E=(7.1.10¹0) Pa, l=3.5 m, m=3000 kg, and I= (1.05.10-5) m¹. 3EI k= 3 -3 0 -3 6 -3 0 -3 3 Nxm منه Figure x₁(t) x₂ 19 ΕΙ 3EI k= 7³ x₂ (1) Nxm m x₂ (1) m x3 (1)

A wave of period 10 s is propagating toward a rubble mound breakwater in water of constant depth h = 30 m. A pressure gage located at 10 m from the bottom in front of the breakwater shows a time record with an envelope beating between minima of amplitude 2,100 N/m2 and maxima of amplitude 4; 700 N/m2. Calculate the rate (per meter of width) at which energy is dissipated by the breakwater. At what separation distance do the pressure maxima occur?
A reciprocating machine weighing 100kN is known to develop vertically oriented harmonic forces having and amplitude of 2.5kN at its operating speed of 40Hz. In order to limit the vibrations excited in the building in which the machine is installed, it is to be supported by a spring at each corner of its rectangular base. The designer wants to know what support spring stiffness would be required to limit to 0.4kN, the total harmonic force transmitted from the machine to the building.
