Explanation Given Information: The weight ( W A ) of platform A is 100 lb. The spring constant ( k B and k D ) is 120 lb/ft . The load of the block ( P ) of 80 lb. Assume the acceleration due to gravity value is 32.2 ft/s 2 . Calculation: Calculate the equivalent spring constant ( k e ) using the relation: k e = k B + k D Substitute 120 lb/ft for k B and 120 lb/ft for k D . k e = 120 + 120 = 240 lb/ft Calculate the mass of the platform A ( m A ) using the relation: m A = W A g Substitute 100 lb for W A and 32.2 ft/s 2 for g . m A = 100 32.2 = 3.1056 lb ⋅ s 2 /ft Calculate the natural circular frequency ( ω n ) spring using the relation: ω n 2 = k e m A Substitute 240 lb/ft for k e and 3.1056 lb ⋅ s 2 /ft for m A . ω n 2 = 240 3.1056 = 77.28 ( rad/s ) 2 Write the expression for equivalent spring constant ( k e ' ) : k e ' = k B + k D + k C Substitute 120 lb/ft for k B and 120 lb/ft for k D

An 8-kg uniform disk of radius 200 mm is welded to a vertical shaft with a fixed end at B. The disk rotates through an angle of 3° when a static couple of magnitude 50N.m is applied to it. If the disk is acted upon by a periodic torsional couple of magnitude Tm=60N.m. determine the range of values of vf for which the amplitude of the vibration is less than the angle of rotation caused by a static couple of magnitude Tm.

A 6-kg uniform cylinder can roll without sliding on a horizontal surface and is attached by a pin at point C to the 4-kg horizontal bar AB. The bar is attached to two springs, each having a constant of k = 4.2 kN/m, as shown. The bar is moved 12 mm to the right of the equilibrium position and released. Determine the period of vibration of the system. (Round the final answer to three decimal places.) The period of vibration of the system is ___s.

A slender 10-kg bar AB with a length of l = 0.6 m is connected to two collars of negligible weight. Collar A is attached to a spring with a constant of k = 1.5 kN/m and can slide on a horizontal rod, while collar B can slide freely on a vertical rod. Knowing that the system is in equilibrium when bar AB is vertical and that collar A is given a small displacement and released, determine the period of the resulting vibrations.
