Free undamped vibrations

Whenever an object/system displaces in either side of its equilibrium position with the help of an external/internal means, then the object/system moves regularly or randomly on both sides of its equilibrium position. This motion is called vibration. Gen…

Two small spheres, A and C, each have a mass m and are attached to rod AB that is supported by a pin and bracket at B and by a spring CD with constant k. Knowing that the mass of the rod is negligible and that the system is in equilibrium when the rod is horizontal, determine the frequency of the small oscillations of the system.

A 50-kg block is supported by the spring arrangement shown. The block is moved vertically downward from its equilibrium position and released. Knowing that the amplitude of the resulting motion is 60 mm, determine (a) the period and frequency of the motion, (b) the maximum velocity and maximum acceleration of the block.

Two springs of constants K1 and K2 are connected in series to a block A that vibrates in simple harmonic motion with a period of 5 s. When the same two springs are connected in parallel to the same block, the block vibrates with a period of 2 s. Determine the ratio K1/K2 of the two spring constants.
