    (1) A simplified spring mass vibration pickup as shown in the figure

    below is used to measure the vertical acceleration of a train which has


    vertical frequency of 10 rad/sec. The mass is 1.202 kg and the modulus
    of the spring is 1500 N/m. The amplitude of the relative motion of the
    mass is 0.12 cm as recorded by the instrument. Find the maximum
    vertical acceleration of the train. What is the amplitude of vibration of
    the train? Ans. A=137.8 cm/sec2 x 2 =1.378 cm

    (2) A 5-kg rotor balancing machine is mounted on a table through


    an elastic foundation of stiffness 3.1*104 N/m and damping ratio
    0.04. Transducer indicates that the table on which the machine is
    placed vibrates at a frequency of 110 rad/sec with an amplitude
    of 0.62 mm. What is the steady state amplitude of acceleration
    of the balancing machine?

    (3) An accelerometer has a natural frequency of 80 Hz and a damping


    coefficient of 8 N.sec/m. When attached to a vibrating structure, it
    measures an amplitude of 8 m/sec2 and a frequency of 50 Hz. The true
    acceleration of the structure is 7.5 m/sec2. Determine the mass and
    stiffness of the accelerometer.

    (4) A 20 kg block is connected to a movable support through a spring of


    stiffness 100 kN/m in parallel with a viscous damper of damping
    coefficient 600N.sec/m. The support is given a harmonic displacement
    ۱
    of amplitude 25 mm and frequency 40 rad/sec. An accelerometer of
    natural frequency 25 Hz and damping ratio 0.2 is attached to the block.
    What is the output of the accelerometer in mm/sec2?

    (5) A vibrometer whose damping is negligible is employed to find the


    magnitude of vibration of a machine structure. It gives a reading of the
    relative displacement of 0.005 cm. The natural frequency of the
    vibrometer is 300 cpm and the machine is running at 100 rpm. What
    will be the magnitude of displacement , velocity and acceleration of
    the vibrating machine part?

    (6) An accelerometer has a suspended mass of 0.01 kg with a damped


    natural frequency of vibration of 150 Hz. When mounted on an engine
    undergoing an acceleration of 9.81 m/sec2 at an operating speed of
    6000 rpm, the acceleration is recorded as 9.5 m/sec2 by the
    instrument. Find the damping constant and the spring stiffness of the
    accelerometer.

    (7) A vibrometer having a natural frequency of 4 rad/sec and damping


    factor 0.2 is attached to a structure that performs a harmonic motion.
    If the difference between the maximum and minimum recorded values
    is 8 mm, find the amplitude of motion of the vibrating structure when
    its frequency is 40 rad/sec.

    (8) Design a velometer if the maximum error to be limited to 1% of the


    true velocity. The natural frequency of the velometer is to be 80 Hz and
    the suspended mass is to be 0.05 kg.

    cps and a damping factor 0.65. What is the lowest frequency that can
    be measured with (a) 1% error (b) 2% error?
