- Vibrationarrow_forwardAs shown in the Fig. 3, the CM of a cylinder of mass m and radius R is connected to the top of hoop of mass m by a spring. The spring constant is assumed to be known and it is denoted by k. At a given moment the system is slightly compressed and then suddenly released. After the release, both rigid objects roll without slipping. Determine the angular frequency of the resulting oscillation. It is assumed that the spring remains horizontal throughout the motion.

- (a) A mass suspended from a helical spring of stiffness s, is displaced by a distance x from its equilibrium position and allowed to vibrate. Show that the motion is simple harmonic. (b) A vertical helical spring having a stiffness of 1540 N/m is clamped at its upper end and carries a mass of 20 kg attached to the lower end. The mass is displaced vertically through a distance of 120 mm and released. Find : 1. Frequency of oscillation ; 2. Maximum velocity reached; 3. Maximum acceleration; and 4. Maximum value of the inertia force on the mass. (c) A machine of mass 75 kg is mounted on springs and is fitted with a dashpot to damp out vibrations. There are three springs each of stiffness 10 N/mm and it is found that the amplitude of vibration diminishes from 38.4 mm to 6.4 mm in two complete oscillations. Assuming that the damping force varies as the velocity, determine : 1. the resistance of the dashpot at unit velocity; 2. the ratio of the frequency of the damped vibration to the…arrow_forwardA section of uniform pipe is suspended from two vertical cables attached at A and B.
