2. Derive the equation of motion based on coordinate with response θ(t), which is the
rotating angle of the arm, then find: (a) the frequency of damped vibration, (b)
damping ratio ζ.
Assume that the arm is massless and we have an underdamped system.
3. For the systems shown: (a) Determine the damping ratio. (b) State whether the
system is underdamped, critically damped, or overdamped. (c) Determine response
x(t) for the given initial conditions.

4. For a spring-mass-damper system, m=50kg, k=10000N/m, find the following: (a)


critical damping constant, (b) damped frequency when c=0.5*cc.

5. The mass shown in the following figure vibrating with viscous damping makes five
complete oscillations per second, and the vibration amplitude at ‘m’ is found to
decrease by 60% after 2.5 full vibration cycles. a) Determine the stiffness of the
spring and damping constant of the damper shown in the system, b) if the mass has
initial displacement of 0m and initial velocity of 1m/s, what is the largest
displacement of the mass?

m=10kg, J0=2kgm^2; r1=0.1m; r2=0.2m.
