Figure P6a.5
6. A simply supported beam of a cross section of 30 𝑚𝑚 (depth) × 20 𝑚𝑚 (width) and a length of 1
m, carries a mass of 20 kg at its middle. The natural frequency of transverse vibration of beam is found
to be 150 rad/s. Determine the Young's modulus of elasticity of the beam material.
7. Determine the natural frequency of a system consisting of a beam and spring and mass assembly shown
in Figure P6a.7 by modelling it as a single degree of freedom system. Mass of the beam is negligible
in comparison to that of the attached mass. Take 𝐸 = 210 𝐺𝑃𝑎, 𝐿 = 1.5 𝑚 and 𝐼 = 1 × 10−5 𝑚4 for
beam and 𝑘 = 1 𝑀𝑁/𝑚. Determine the new natural frequency when the stiffness value (𝑘) of spring
is (a) reduced by 25 % and (b) increased by 25 %.

8. A block of mass 8 kg falls from a height 0.5 m onto the end of a cantilever beam as shown in Figure
P6a.8 and adheres to it without rebounding. Determine the resulting transverse vibration of the beam.
Take 𝐸 = 210 𝐺𝑃𝑎 and 𝐼 = 1 × 10−5 𝑚4 for beam.
