1. A uniform thin rod, AB shown in Figure 1, has a mass of m at point B. The rod is hinged at A
and is maintained in the horizontal position by a spring of stiffness K. The mass B is supported
by a damper with the damping coefficient is C. Find the damped natural frequency of oscillation
in term of m, K and C when a=(1/3)b, using equivalent method.

3. A vibrating system consists of a mass of 50 kg, a spring with a stiffness of 30 kN/m and a damper.
The damping provided is only 20% of the critical value. Determine the :
(a) Damping factor (ratio)
(b) Critical damping coefficient = critical damping constant
(c) Natural frequency of damped vibrations
(d) Logarithmic decrement
(e) Ratio of two consecutive amplitudes.
[Ans : 0.2, 2.45 N/mm/s, 24 rad/s, 1.28, 3.6]
4. Determine the time in which the mass in a damped vibrating system would settle down to 1/50 th of
its initial deflection for the following data :
M = 200 kg, ζ = 0.22, s=40 N/mm
Aso, find the number of oscillations completed to reach this value of deflection.
[Ans : 1.26 s, 2.76]
5. The frame shown in Figure 5, has a uniform AD body (I = 1/3 ml2) and has a mass of 2 kg. The
mass of M1 at the end of AD is 1 kg, the mass of the EB arm is 1 kg and also carries the mass of M2 of
1 kg. The springs have a constant of 1 kN / m and the damper C has a damping coefficient of 8 Ns / m.
using Energy method & Newton method, determine:
a) Frequency of non-damping , ωn
b) Damping ratio
