1. Determine the natural frequencies and normal modes for the following systems:
2. For the system shown below, what is the frequency range in order that the distance
between the two masses is never less than 0.4 m. (Note that the initial distance is 0.5
m and k1=k2=k3= 1000 N/m. Also m1 = m2 = 10kg)
Harmonic forces are 20N on m1 and 10N on m2, same frequency)
3. If a vehicle can be modelled using the following parameters:
m1 the mass of the vehicle ( = 2m)
m2 the mass of the wheel ( = 0.1m)
k2 the stiffness of suspension ( = 2K)
k1 the stiffness of wheel ( = 1K)
5. In a certain refrigeration plant a section of the pipe carrying the refrigerant vibrates
violently at the compressor speed of 232 rpm. To eliminate the vibration, it was
proposed to clamp a spring-mass system to the pipe to act as an absorber, tuned to this
speed. For the trial test a 1 kg tuned absorber resulted in resonance speeds at 198 and
272 rpm. If a new absorber is to be designed so that no resonance should occur
between 160 and 320 rpm. Find the mass and spring stiffness of this new absorber.
