5. An automobile is modeled as a 1000-kg mass supported by a spring of stiffness k = 400,000 N/m. When it oscillates it does so with a maximum deflection of 10 cm. When loaded with passengers, the mass increases to as much as 1300 kg. Calculate the change in frequency, velocity amplitude, and acceleration amplitude if the maximum deflection remains 10 cm. Given: M1 = 1000 kg M2 = 1300 kg k =400,000N/m
V1= An1 =10 cm x 20 rad/s = 200 cm/s V2= An2 =10 cm x 17.54 rad/s = 175.4 cm/s v 175.4 200 = -24.6 cm/s

a1= An2 = 10 cm x (17.54 rad/s) = 3077 cm/s a = 3077 4000 = -923 cm/s

4. To design a linear, spring-mass system it is often a matter of choosing a spring constant such that the resulting natural frequency has a specified value. Suppose that the mass of a system is 4 kg and the stiffness is 100 N/m. How much must the spring stiffness be changed in order to increase the natural frequency by 10%? Given: m =4 kg k = 100 N/m Natural frequency is n = = 5 rad/s
Solution: Increasing this value by 10% requires the new frequency to be 5 x 1.1 = 5.5 rad/s. Solving for k given m and n yields: 5.5 = k = (5.5) (4) = 121 N/m

3. The amplitude of vibration of an undamped system is measured to be 1 mm. The phase shift from t = 0 is measured to be 2 rad and the frequency is found to be 5 rad/s. Calculate the initial conditions that caused this vibration to occur. Assume the response is of the form x (t ) = A sin(n t + ). Given: A = 1mm = 2 rad, = 5 rad/s Solution: For an undamped system: x (t) = A sin(n t + ) = 1 sin(5t + 2) and v (t) = X (t) = A cos(n t + ) = 1 sin(5t + 2) = 5 cos (5t +2) Set t = 0 in these expressions yields: x (0) = 1 sin(2) = 0.9093 mm v (0) = 5 cos(2) = -2.081 mm/s
2. Derive the solution of m x + kx = 0 and plot the result for at least two periods for the case with n = 2 rad/s, x0 = 1 mm, and v0 = 5 mm/s. Given: m x + kx = 0 Solution: Assume: x(t) = ae

where n =
The sum of x1 and x2 is also a solution so that the total solution is: X = x1 + x2= c + c2
Substitute initial conditions: x0 = 1mm, v0 = mm/s X (0) = c1+c2 = x0 = 1 = 1 - c1, and v(0) = x(0) = 2ic1 -2ic2 = vo = mm/s -2c1 + 2c2 = i
Combining the two expressions (2 equations in 2 unknowns): -2c1 +2-2c1= i c1 = Therefore the solution is: X= (
