(a) Explanation Given Information: The period of vibration ( τ n 1 ) of the barrel is 0.58 sec. The period of vibration ( τ n 2 ) of the barrel when it is filled ( W ) with 55 gallons of crude oil is 1.8 sec. The density ( ρ ) of the oil is 900 kg/m 3 . The diameter ( D ) of the barrel is 572 mm. Calculation: Consider when the barrel is empty: Calculate the natural circular frequency ( ω n 1 ) using the relation: τ n 1 = 2 π ω n 1 Rewrite the above expression: ω n 1 = 2 π τ n 1 Substitute 0.58 s for τ n 1 . ω n 1 = 2 π 0.58 s = 10 .833 rad / s Write the expression for natural circular frequency of vibration ( ω n 1 ) : ω n 1 = k m b Here, k is the equivalent spring constant of the salt water and m b for the mass of the barrel when it is empty. Substitute 10 .833 rad / s for ω n 1 . 10 .833 rad / s = k m b k m b = ( 10 .833 ) 2 (1) When the barrel is filled with crude oil: Calculate the natural circular frequency ( ω n 2 ) using the relation: τ n 2 = 2 π ω n 2 Rewrite the expression for time period of vibration: ω n 2 = 2 π τ n 2 Substitute 1.8 sec for τ n 1 . ω n 2 = 2 π 1.8 s = 3 .4907 rad / s Write the expression for natural circular frequency of vibration ( ω n 2 ) : ω n 2 = k m b + m o i l Here, m oil is mass of the oil. Substitute 3 .4907 rad / s for ω n 2 (b) To determine The density ( ρ s w ) of the salt water.

Free Damped Vibrations

Free vibration is a type of vibration in which the external force is removed after giving the initial displacement to a body/system. In other words, in this type of vibration, force is applied at the initial displacement of the system, and after the init…

A 11-lb block is attached to the lower end of a spring whose upper end is fixed and vibrates with a period of 7.2 s. Knowing that the constant k of a spring is inversely proportional to its length (e.g., if you cut a 10 lb/in. spring in half, the remaining two springs each have a spring constant of 20 lb/in.), determine the period of a 7-lb block that is attached to the center of the same spring if the upper and lower ends of the spring are fixed.

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. In your…
