2. Find the total response of a SDOF system with m =10kg, c = 20 N-s/m, k = 4000 N/m,
x0 = 0.01 m, 𝑥0̇ = 0 under the following conditions:
a. An external force 𝐹(𝑡) = 𝐹0 cos 𝜔𝑡 acts on the system with ω = 10 rad/s, and 𝐹0 =
100 𝑁
b. Free vibration with 𝐹(𝑡) = 0
3. In the following system, the springs has coefficient of 𝑘 = 10𝑁/𝑚 and mass of the
system is equal to 𝑚 = 5𝑘𝑔. A dynamic force, 𝑓(𝑡) = 10 𝑐𝑜𝑠5𝑡 is applying to this
system. For initial conditions x(0) = 0 & ẋ(0) = 0, find the equation of motion and plot
the response.
4. A system of mass 10 kg and stiffness 1.5 × 104 N/m is subject to Coulomb damping. If
the mass is driven harmonically by a 90-N force at 25 Hz, determine the equivalent
viscous damping coefficient if the coefficient of friction is 0.1.
5. Use the equivalent viscous damping coefficient calculated in Problem 4 and plot the
free response of the “equivalent” viscously damped system to the same initial
conditions.
