An automobile manufacturer is testing the suspension system of their latest car model. They load the car, which has a mass of 1,160 kg, with four test dummies, each with a mass of 73.7 kg. The car is placed onto a horizontal platform which can oscillate vertically with an adjustable frequency. The engineers find that when the platform's frequency is set to 1.50 Hz, the car's suspension vibrates at its maximum amplitude. The platform oscillation is then turned off. As four test dummies are removed from the car, the car's body will rise by what distance (in cm)? cm

The measurements on a mechanical vibrating system show that it has a mass of 8 kg and that the springs can be combined to give an equivalent spring of stiffness 5.4 N/mm.

A sensitive electronic system, of mass 25 kg, is supported by a spring-damper isolator that rests on the floor of a manufacturing plant. The operation of nearby rotating equipment causes the floor to vibrate with an amplitude of 8 mm at a frequency of 35 Hz. The electronic system can only operate effectively if the amplitude of its acceleration is less than 40 m/s2. It is known that the damping ratio of the isolator is 0.1. i. Determine the maximum stiffness of the isolator needed for the transmitted acceleration level to be acceptable and hence facilitate effective operation of the electronic system. Using the calculated stiffness value, also determine the largest deformation of the spring in millimetres when the system is in motion. ii. If the damping ratio is allowed to increase by only increasing the equivalent damping coefficient (c) of the isolator, discuss the effect this change would have on the response of the electronic system when operating in the same environment.
