1. The ratio k/m of a spring-mass system is given as 4.0. If the mass is deflected 2 cm
down, measured from its equilibrium position, and given an upward velocity of 8
cm/s, determine its amplitude (in cm) and maximum acceleration (in m/s2).

2. A mass of 0.907 kg is attached to the end of a spring with a stiffness of 7.0 N/cm.
Determine the critical damping coefficient.

3. To calibrate a dash pot, the velocity of the plunger was measured when a given force
was applied to it. If a 0.227 kg weight produced a constant velocity of 0.0305 m/s,
determine the damping factor ζ when used with the system of Problem 2.

4. A vibrating system consisting of a mass of 2.267 kg and a spring of stiffness 17.5


N/cm is viscously damped such that the ratio of any two consecutive amplitudes is
1.00 and 0.98. Determine (a) the natural frequency of the damped system, (b) the
logarithmic decrement, (c) the damping factor, and (d) the damping coefficient.

5. A vibrating system consists of a mass of 4.534 kg, a spring of stiffness 35.0 N/cm,
and a dashpot with a damping coefficient of 0.1243 N/cm/s. Find (a) the damping
factor, (b) the logarithmic decrement, (c) the ratio of any two consecutive amplitudes
and, (d) the natural frequency of damped oscillation.

6. A machine part of mass 1.95 kg vibrates in a viscous medium. Determine the damping
coefficient when a harmonic exciting force of 24.46 N results in a resonant amplitude
of 1.27 cm with a period of 0.20 s.

7. A spring-mass is excited by a force F0 sin t . At resonance, the amplitude is


measured to be 0.58 cm. At 0.80 resonant frequency, the amplitude is measured to be
0.46 cm. Determine the damping factor (of the system).

8. A spring-mass system with viscous damping is displaced from the equilibrium


position and released. If the amplitude diminished by 5% each cycle, what fraction of
the critical damping does the system have?
