Explanation Given information: The period ( τ 1 ) of oscillation of the platform when the platform is empty is 2.2 sec. The period ( τ 2 ) of oscillation of the platform with the object A is 3.8 sec. The wire has a torsional constant ( K ) is 27 N ⋅ m/rad . Calculation: Show the free body equation diagram as in Figure (1). The external force in the system is tension in the wire and the effective force in the system is the couple I ¯ θ ¨ . Take moment about G in the system for external forces. ( ∑ M G ) e x t e r n a l = − K θ Take moment about G in the system for effective forces. ( ∑ M G ) e f f e c t i v e = I ¯ θ ¨ Equate the moment about G in the system for external and effective forces. ( ∑ M G ) e x t e r n a l = ( ∑ M G ) e f f e c t i v e − K θ = I ¯ θ ¨ − I ¯ θ ¨ − K θ = 0 I ¯ ( θ ¨ + K I ¯ θ ) = 0 θ ¨ + K I ¯ θ = 0 (1) Compare the differential Equation (1) with the general differential equation of motion ( x ¨ + ω n 2 x = 0 ) and express the natural circular frequency of vibration: ω n 2 = K I ¯ (2) Calculate the natural circular frequency ( ω n 1 ) when the plate is empty using the relation: ω n 1 = 2 π τ 1 Substitute 2.2 sec for τ 1 . ω n 1 = 2 π 2.2 = 2.856 rad/s Calculate the centroidal moment of inertia ( I ¯ 1 ) when the platform is empty: Substitute 27 N ⋅ m/rad for K and 2.856 rad/s for ω n 1 in Equation (2)
