(a) Explanation Given information: The weight of the motor ( W ) is 400 lb . The unbalanced weight ( w ) is 3 oz or 3 16 lb . The distance between the weight of rotor to axis of rotation ( r ) is 6in . or 0 .5ft . The fluctuating force ( F m ) is 0.2 lb . The speed of the motor ( ω f ) is 100 rpm . The acceleration due to gravity ( g ) is 32.2 ft/s 2 . Calculation: Convert the unit of speed of motor from rpm to rad/s: ω f = ( ω f ) rpm × 2 π 60 Here, ( ω f ) rpm is the speed of the motor in rpm. Substitute 100 rpm for ( ω f ) rpm . ω f = 100 × 2 π 60 = 10.472 rad/s Calculate the mass of the motor ( M ) using the formula: W = M g M = W g Substitute 400 lb for W and 32.2 ft/s 2 for g . M = 400 32.2 = 12.422 lb ⋅ s 2 /ft Calculate the unbalanced mass ( m ) using the formula: w = m g m = w g Substitute 3 16 lb for w and 32.2 ft/s 2 for g . m = 3 16 lb 32.2 = 0.005823 lb ⋅ s 2 /ft The expression for the rotating unbalanced mass is equivalent to an applied force ( P m ) as follows: P m = m r ω f 2 The expression for the motion of the system which is defined by the differential equation as follows: x m = P m k − M ω f 2 Substitute m r ω f 2 for P m . x m = m r ω f 2 k − M ω f 2 The expression for the transmitted force ( F m ) as follows: F m = k x m Substitute m r ω f 2 k − M ω f 2 for x m (b) To determine Find the amplitude of the fluctuation force ( | F m | ) exerted on the foundation when the motor is run at 200 rpm .

Free Damped Vibrations

Free vibration is a type of vibration in which the external force is removed after giving the initial displacement to a body/system. In other words, in this type of vibration, force is applied at the initial displacement of the system, and after the init…

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 dash-pot at unit velocity ; 2. the ratio of the frequency of the damped vibration to the frequency of the undamped vibration ; and 3. the periodic time of the damped vibration.
