An electric motor of mass 68 kg is mounted on an isolator block of mass 1200 kg and the natural
frequency of the total assembly is 160 cpm with a damping factor of ζ = 0.10 (see Fig. P3.28). If
there is an unbalance in the motor that results in a harmonic force of F = 100 sin 31.4t, determine

Step 3 of 5

Write the given equation for harmonic force.

From the general equation of force,

The excitation frequency due to unbalance in the motor from the harmonic force relation is
and excitation force is .

Calculate the stiffness of the spring using the following relation:

Here, is the mass of the total assembly and is the natural frequency oscillation.

Substitute 16.7551 rad/s for and 1268 kg for .
