Chapter 19.4, Problem 19.126P
A small trailer and its load have a total mass of 250 kg. The trailer is supported by two springs, each of constant 10 kN/m, and is pulled over a road, the surface of which can be approximated by a sine curve with an amplitude of 40 mm and a wavelength of 5 m (i.e., the distance between successive crests is 5 m and the vertical distance from crest to trough is 80 mm). Determine (a) the speed at which resonance occur, (b) the amplitude of the vibration of the trailer at a speed of 50 km/h.

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…
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 spring-mass system K1, m, has a natural frequency of f1. If a second spring K2 is added in parallel with the first spring, the natural frequency is lowered to 1/2f1. Determine K2 in terms of K1.
