Tutorial Problem Set - 3 PDF

This document contains a tutorial exercise with 6 questions regarding the free vibration of single degree of freedom (SDOF) spring-mass systems. The questions involve calculating natural periods when the spring constant is changed, finding natural frequencies with and without additional springs, relating the natural period to changes in spring length, deriving the equation of motion from free body diagrams, determining system properties from natural frequencies, and identifying the highest natural frequency configuration. Diagrams are provided to illustrate the system setups being analyzed.

Tutorial Time:

Q1. A spring-mass system has a natural period of 0.21 sec. What will be the new period if
the spring constant is (a) increased by 50 percent and (b) decreased by 50 percent?

Q2. Find the natural frequency of the system shown in FIGURE-Q2 with and without
the springs k1 and k2 in the middle of the elastic beam.

Q3. A helical spring of stiffness k is cut into two halves and a mass m is connected to
the two halves as shown in FIGURE Q3(a). The natural time period of this
system is found to be 0.5 s. If an identical spring is cut so that one part is onefourth and the other part three-fourths of the original length, and the mass m is
connected to the two parts as shown in FIGURE Q3(b), what would be the
natural period of the system?

Q4. Draw the free-body diagram and derive the


equation of motion using Newtons second law
of motion for the system shown in FIGURE Q4.

Q5. An automobile is found to have a natural frequency of 20 rad/s without passengers


and 17.32 rad/s with passengers of mass 500 kg. Find the mass and stiffness of
the automobile by treating it as a single-degree-of-freedom system.

in three different configurations, as indicated in FIGURE-Q6. Find the configuration
corresponding to the highest natural frequency.
