Example 1

A 7kg object stretches a spring 900mm by itself. There is no damping and no external forces acting on the system. The
spring is initially displaced 500mm downwards from its equilibrium position and given an initial velocity of 1000mm/sec
downward. Find the displacement at any time t.

Example 2
A 375 ft long concrete box-girder bridge on 4 supports - two abutments and two symmetrically
located bents - is shown below. The cross-sectional area of the bridge deck is 123 sq. ft. The
weight of the bridge is idealized as lumped at the deck level; the unit weight of concrete is
150pcf. The weight of the bents may be neglected. Each bent consists of three 25-ft tall
columns of circular cross section with I equal to 13 ft^4.
Determine the natural frequency and the natural period of vibration.
