(a) Explanation Given information: The weight of the block A ( W ) is 18 lb . The spring constant ( k ) is 8 lb/ft . The magnitude of the acceleration ( a ) is a m sin ω f t . The maximum acceleration ( a m ) is 5 ft/s 2 . The forced circular frequency ( ω f ) is 6rad/s . The acceleration due to gravity ( g ) is 32.2 ft / s 2 . Calculation: Calculate the maximum acceleration of the forced vibration ( a m ) using the formula: a m = − δ m ω f 2 Here, δ m is the deflection of the spring due to the periodic force. Substitute 5 ft / s 2 for a m and 6 rad / s for ω f . 5 ft / s 2 = − δ m ( 6 rad / s ) 2 δ m = − 5 36 δ m = − 0.13889 ft Calculate the mass of the block A ( m ) using the formula: W = m g m = W g Substitute 18 lb for W and 32.2 ft / s 2 for g . m = 18 lb 32.2 ft / s 2 = 0.559 lb ⋅ s 2 / ft Calculate the natural circular frequency of oscillation ( ω n ) using the formula: ω n = k m Substitute 8 lb / ft for k and 0 (b) To determine Find the amplitude of the fluctuating force ( F m ) exerted by the spring on the block.
