A pump of mass 30 kg is supported on a support structure which has 4 springs
arranged in parallel with stiffness values of 10 kN/m, 15 kN/m, 8 kN/m and
12 kN/m respectively. Viscous damping is present within the system and 1 kNs/m
is applied by a damper.
i) Produce a neat sketch of the system and state its equation of motion.

ii) Determine the damping ratio for the system, commenting on its value.


iii) Determine the damped frequency of vibration.

iv) Determine the logarithmic decrement for the vibrating system.
