    Home Exercise #6

    Q1. A 50-kg block moves between vertical guides as shown. The


    block is pulled 40 mm down from its equilibrium position and
    released. For each spring arrangement, determine the period of
    vibration.

    Q2. A 1.4-kg block is supported as shown by a spring of constant k = 400 N/m


    which can act in tension or compression. The block is in its equilibrium position
    when it is struck from below by a hammer which imparts the block an upward
    velocity of 2.5 m/s. Determine (a) the time required for the block to move 60
    mm upward, (b) the corresponding velocity and acceleration of the block.

    Q3. The bob of a simple pendulum of length l = 1 m is released from rest


    when θ = +5°. Assuming simple harmonic motion, determine 1.6 s after
    release (a) the angle θ, (b) the magnitudes of the velocity and acceleration
    of the bob. [(Hint: Use θ = C.sin(ωnt+Φ)].

    Q4. The 4.5 kg uniform rod AC is attached to springs of


    constant k = 750 N/m at B and k = 900 N/m at C, which can
    act in tension or compression. If the end C is depressed
    slightly and released, determine (a) the frequency of
    vibration, (b) the amplitude of the motion of point C,
    knowing that the maximum velocity of that point is 0.8 m/s.

    Q5. A small collar of mass 1-kg is rigidly attached to a 3-kg uniform rod
    length L = 1 m. Determine the period of small oscillations of the rod when
    (a) d = 1 m, (b) d = 0.7 m.
    Q6. Two uniform rods, each of mass m = 10 kg and length L = 1 m, are
    welded together to form the assembly shown. Knowing that the constant
    of each spring is k = 750 N/m and that end A is given a small
    displacement and released, determine the frequency of the resulting
    motion.

    Q7. Two blocks, each of mass 1.5 kg, are attached to links which
    are pin-connected to bar BC as shown. The masses of the links and
    bar are negligible, and the blocks can slide without friction. Block
    D is attached to a spring of constant k = 720 N/m. Knowing that
    block A is moved 15 mm from its equilibrium position and
    released, determine the magnitude of the maximum velocity of
    block D during the resulting motion.

    Q8. A slender 10 kg bar AB of length l = 0.6 m is connected to two


    collars of negligible mass. Collar A is attached to a spring of constant
    k = 1.5 kN/m can slide on a horizontal rod, while collar B can slide
    freely on a vertical rod. Knowing that the system is in equilibrium
    when bar AB is vertical and that collar A is given a small
    displacement and released, determine the period of the resulting
    vibrations.

    Q9. A 4-kg collar can slide on a frictionless horizontal rod and is


    attached to a spring of constant 450 kN/m. It is acted upon by a periodic
    force of magnitude P = Pm sinωft, where Pm =13 N. Determine the
    amplitude of the motion of the collar if (a) ωf = 5 rad/s, (b) ωf = 10
    rad/s.

    Q10. A small 20-kg block A is attached to the rod BC of


    negligible mass which is supported at B by a pin and
    bracket and at C by a spring of constant k = 2 kN/m. The
    system can move in vertical plane and is in equilibrium
    when the rod is horizontal. The rod is acted upon at C by a
    periodic force P of magnitude P = Pm sinωft, where Pm =
    6 N. Knowing that b = 200 mm, determine the range of
    values of ωf for which the amplitude of vibration of block
    A exceeds 3.5 mm.
