Explanation Given information: The mass of the compressor ( m C ) is 250 kg. The speed of the rotor ( N ) is 2,000 rpm. The force transmitted to the ground ( P m ) is m r ω f 2 . The density of concrete ( ρ ) is 2400 kg/m 3 . The spring constant ( k ) is 80 × 10 6 N / m . The area of the concrete block ( A ) is 1.5 m × 1.5 m . Calculation: Calculate the frequency of the force transmitted ( ω f ) to the ground using the relation: ω f = 2 π N 60 Substitute 2000 rpm for N . ω f = 2 π ( 2000 rpm ) 60 = 209.44 rad / s Consider the system as a spring mass system, where the compressor with the concrete block acts as mass unit and the soil as spring. Thus, the force transmitted to the ground is the product of spring constant of the spring and amplitude of the vibration. The expression for the force transmitted to the ground ( P ) as follows: P = k x m (1) Here, x m is the amplitude of the forced vibration. The expression for the force ( P m ) due to the unbalance as follows: P m = m r ω f 2 Here, mr is the force due to unbalance is, and the unbalance. The amplitude of the forced vibration is out-of-phase with the unbalance of the compressor. Calculate the amplitude of forced vibration ( x m ) using the formula: x m = − P m / k 1 − ( ω f ω n ) 2 Here, ω n is the natural frequency of vibration of the soil. Substitute m r ω f 2 for P m . x m = − m r ω f 2 / k 1 − ( ω f ω n ) 2 k x m = − m r ω f 2 1 − ( ω f ω n ) 2 k x m = m r ω f 2 ( ω f ω n ) 2 − 1 . (2) Substitute Equation (1) in Equation (2). k x m = m r ω f 2 ( ω f ω n ) 2 − 1 P = m r ω f 2 ( ω f ω n ) 2 − 1 (3) The force transmitted to the ground is the centripetal force due to the unbalance of the compressor. The objective is to reduce the force transmitted to the ground by 75%. The expression for the force transmitted to the ground as follows: P = m r ω f 2 − 75 % ( m r ω f 2 ) = ( 1 − 0.75 ) m r ω f 2 = 0.25 m r ω f 2 (4) Substitute equation (4) in equation (3). P = m r ω f 2 ( ω f ω n ) 2 − 1 0

The spring-mass-damper system shown below has m1 = m2 = 3.4 kg and k = 97.7 N/m. In addition, a damping factor of 0.3 is given. The initial position and velocity of the system is x(t=0)=4.3 mm and x'(t=0)=0 m/s respectively. Frictionless pulley m2 Calculate the time required for the amplitude to reduce to 10% of the initial conditions.

Q2/ The measurements on a mechanical vibrating system show that it has a mass of 8 kg and that the springs can be combined to give an equivalent spring of stiffness 5.4 N/mm. If the vibrating system has a dashpot attached which exerts a force of 40 N when the mass has a velocity of I m/s, find (1) critical damping coefficient, (2) damping factor, (3) logarithmic decrement, and (4) ratio of two consecutive amplitudes. 010
