Tutorial 4

This document contains summaries of multiple physics problems involving harmonic oscillation, resonance, and vibration analysis. Specifically: 1) A 100 kg mass on a spring and damper system is excited at 3 Hz, calculating the steady state displacement amplitude and phase. 2) A 2000N machine on a flexible floor vibrates at resonance, calculating the transmitted force and displacement amplitude. 3) A 45 kg fan with an unbalanced force, calculating the required spring stiffness to transmit only 10% of the force to the ground at 10,000 rpm. 4) A 300 kg vibrating mass on a spring and damper system has a known displacement amplitude, calculating the damping constant and force amplitude on the base.

Question 2.

9
A 100 kg mass is suspended by a spring of stiffness
30x103 N/m with a viscous damping constant of 1000
Ns/m. The mass is initially at rest. Calculate the
steady-state displacement amplitude and phase if the
mass is excited by a harmonic force of 80 N at 3 Hz.
Question 2.14
A machine weighing 2000N rests on a floor. The floor
defects about 5 cm as a result of the weight of the machine.
The floor is somewhat flexible and moves, because of the
motion of a nearby machine, harmonically near resonance
with an amplitude of 0.2 cm. Assume a damping ratio of
ζ = 0.01 and calculate the transmitted force and the
amplitude of the transmitted displacement.

resonance ( r = 1 )
Question 2.18
A fan of 45 kg has an unbalance that creates a
harmonic force. A spring-damper system is
designed to minimize the force transmitted to the
base of the fan. A damper is used having a damping
ratio of ζ=0.2. Calculate the required spring stiffness
so that only 10% of the force is transmitted to the
ground when the fan is turning at 10,000 rpm.
Question 2.19
A vibrating mass of 300 kg, mounted on a mass-less
support by a spring of stiffness 40,000 N/m and a
damper of unknown damping coefficient, is observed
to vibrate with a 10-mm amplitude while the support
vibration has a maximum amplitude of only 2.5 mm
(at resonance). Calculate the damping constant and
the amplitude of the force on the base.
Question 2.25
A lathe can be modeled as an electric motor mounted
on a steel table. The table plus the motor has a mass
of 50 kg. The rotating parts of the lathe have a mass of
10 kg at a distance 0.1 m from the center. The
damping ratio of the system is measured to be ζ=0.06
(viscous damping) and its natural frequency is 7.5 Hz.
Calculate the amplitude of the steady-state
displacement of the motor, assuming 𝝎𝒓𝒐𝒕 = 𝟑𝟎 𝑯𝒛.
Question 2.27
An electric motor of 10kg, has a rotating eccentric mass and is
set on two identical springs ( k = 3.2 N/mm ). The motor runs
at 1750 rpm, and the mass eccentricity is 100 mm from the
center. The springs are mounted 250 mm apart with the motor
shaft in the center. Neglect damping and determine the force
transmissibility ratio for vertical vibration.
