Tutorial 03

This document provides the solutions to problems about natural frequencies of various undamped spring-mass systems. It gives the natural frequency equations for five systems shown in Figures a through e. It also asks to determine the effect of adding an inertial mass to the spring in Figure e and provides the solution that the natural frequency depends on the total mass, including the added inertial mass.
