Solve please
solve all of the last names from A-K to please for example use k=100k/in , m =1000lb/g . use el centro (2nd picture ) to solve the questions. Thank you for your help!
for the following questions ignore that last name and just solve it pleae:
Verify the modes that are orthogonal
Normalize the first mode
uisng electro with 2%damping, Determine Sa&Sd only for the first mode
For question 2 do 2% please. Use El centro spectrum to answer the secon question please. Thank you for your help!
