Explanation Given information: Mass of each block m = 1.5 Κ g Spring constant k = 720 Ν / m Initial velocity v = 250 m m / s Concept used: By using the principle of conservation of energy for the free vibration of un-damped system, the energy is partly kinetic and partly potential, keeping the total energy being constant. Thus, T + V = Constant Kinetic energy of the system T = 1 2 m ( b 2 + c 2 ) θ ˙ 2 And,Potential energy of the system V = 1 2 k c 2 θ 2 Calculation: Total energy = kinetic energy + Potential energy 1 2 m ( b 2 + c 2 ) θ ˙ 2 + 1 2 k c 2 θ 2 = 0 Now, differentiating the above equation with respect to time (t) to find the natural frequency. Thus, d d t [ 1 2 m ( b 2 + c 2 ) θ ˙ 2 + 1 2 k c 2 θ 2 ] = 0 d d t [ 1 2 m ( b 2 + c 2 ) θ ˙ 2 ] + d d t [ 1 2 k c 2 θ 2 ] = 0 1 2 m ( b 2 + c 2 ) [ 2 θ ¨ . θ ˙ ] + 1 2 k c 2 2 θ ˙ . θ = 0 m ( b 2 + c 2 ) θ ¨

Forced undamped vibrations

In mechanical engineering, vibration is expressed as the term that occurs due to an object's backward and forward movement about a point of equilibrium. Generally, there are three types of vibrations which are,

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.

From mechanics of materials it is known that when a static load P is applied at the end B of a uniform metal rod fixed at end A, the length of the rod will increase by an amount δ=PL/AE, where L is the length of the undeformed rod, A is its cross- sectional area, and E is the modulus of elasticity of the metal. Knowing that L = 450 mm and E = 200 GPa and that the diameter of the rod is 8 mm, and neglecting the mass of the rod, determine (a) the equivalent spring constant of the rod, (b ) the frequency of the vertical vibrations of a block of mass m = 8 kg attached to end B of the same rod.

A 64-lb block is attached to a spring with a constant of k = 1 kip/ft and can move without friction in a vertical slot as shown. It is acted upon by a periodic force with a magnitude of P=Pm sin wf t = 10 rad/s. Knowing that the amplitude of the motion is 0.75 in., determine Pm.
