A simplified model of a washing machine is shown. A bundle of wet clothes forms a weight wb of 20 lb in the machine and causes a rotating unbalance. The rotating weight is 40 lb (including wb) and the radius of the washer basket e is 9 in. Knowing the washer has an equivalent spring constant k = 70 lb/ft and damping ratio and during the spin cycle the drum rotates at 250 rpm, determine the amplitude of the motion and the magnitude of the force transmitted to the sides of the washing machine.

Derive the differential equation of motion for the system shown in its equilibrium position. Neglect the mass of link AB and assume small oscillations. Use the values m1=22 kg, m2=31 kg,k=800 N/m, c=163 N·s/m, a=340 mm, and b=610 mm and calculate the damping factor

8. A spring of 21 cm length reaches 30.8 cm after hanging a mass of 1/4 kilogram on it. The medium through which the mass moves provides a damping force equal to three times the instantaneous velocity. Find the equation of motion if the mass is released from the equilibrium position with a downward velocity of 2 m/s. Calculate the time at which the mass reaches its extreme displacement, and what is the position of the mass at that moment? (Use g = 9.8 m/s²) Sol.
