Explanation Given information: The weight of the machine ( W ) is 500 lb. The spring constant ( k ) is 250 lb/inch. The coefficient of damping ( c ) is 10 lb ⋅ s / in . . The periodic force is applied with a frequency ( f f ) is 2 cycles. The magnitude of the periodic force ( P m ) is 20 lb. The amplitude of the steady state vibration ( x m ) is 0.05 inch. The acceleration due to gravity ( g ) is 32 .2ft/s 2 . Calculation: The periodic force is applied with a frequency of 2.0 cycles per second or 2.0 Hz. Calculate the circular frequency of the periodic force ( ω f ) using the formula: ω f = f f 2 π Here, f f is the periodic force in Hz. Substitute 2.0 Hz for f f . ω f = 2 π ( 2.0 Hz ) = 12.5664 rad / s The system consists of two springs each with a spring constant of 250 lb / in . Thus, the spring constant of the system is given by two times the spring constant of 250 lb / in . . Calculate the spring constant of the system ( k ) for two springs using the relation: k = 2 k s p r i n g Here, k is the spring constant of the system and k s p r i n g is the spring constant of each spring. Substitute 250 lb / in . for k s p r i n g . k = 2 ( 250 lb / in . ) = 500 lb / in . = 500 lb 1 in . × 1 ft 12 in . = 6000 lb / ft Calculate the natural circular frequency ( ω n ) using the formula: ω n = k m Substitute 6000 lb / ft for k and 15.5280 lb ⋅ s 2 / ft for m . ω n = 6000 lb / ft 15.5280 lb ⋅ s 2 / ft = 19.657 rad / s Calculate the critical damping coefficient ( c c ) using the formula: c c = 2 m ω n Substitute 15.5280 lb ⋅ s 2 / ft for m , and 19.657 rad / s for ω n . c c = 2 ( 15.5280 lb ⋅ s 2 / ft ) ( 19.657 rad / s ) = 610.47 lb ⋅ s / ft The periodic force is applied with a frequency of 2

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.

A 64-lb block is attached to a spring with a constant of k = 1 kip/ft and can move without friction in a vertical slot as shown. It is acted upon by a periodic force with a magnitude of P=Pm sin wf t = 10 rad/s. Knowing that the amplitude of the motion is 0.75 in., determine Pm.
