that the equivalent damping ratio is 0.1. Take 𝐸 = 210 𝐺𝑃𝑎 for the beam.
10. A 120 kg machine operates at 1000 rpm and has a rotating unbalance of 0.4 kg.m. Determine the
stiffness of an un-damped isolator such that the force transmitted to the foundation is less than 2000 N.
11. A machine of mass 120 kg operates at 1000 rpm. Determine the equivalent of an isolator that provides
85 percent isolation. Assume that the damping ratio of the isolator is 0.1.
12. A machine of mass 120 kg supported on springs of equivalent stiffness 800 kN/m has a rotating
unbalance force of 400 N at a speed of 4000 rpm. If the damping ratio is 0.16, determine (a) the
amplitude caused by the unbalance and its phase angle, (b) the transmissibility, and (c) the actual force
transmitted.
13. An electronic device of mass 1.5 kg is supported to the base through an un-damped isolator. During
shipping, the base is subjected to a harmonic disturbance of amplitude of 2.5 mm and frequency 4 Hz.
Design the equivalent stiffness of an isolator so that the displacement transmitted to the device is less
than 10 percent of the base motion.
14. A vehicle can be modelled as a single degree of freedom system with 𝑚 = 1000 𝑘𝑔, 𝑘 = 500 𝑘𝑁/𝑚

m. Determine the displacement amplitude of the vehicle when it travels through the road at a speed of
40 km/h.
15. A seismic instrument with a natural damping frequency of 5 Hz and negligible damping is used to
measure the vibration of a machine operating at 100 rpm. The displacement of the seismic mass as read
from the instrument is 0.05 mm. Determine the amplitude of vibration of the machine.
