1.8 A rigid disk of mass m is mounted at the end of a flexible shaft (Fig. P1.8). Neglecting the
weight of the shaft and neglecting damping, derive the equation of free torsional vibration of
the disk. The shear modulus (of rigidity) of the shaft is G.

1.9– Write the equation governing the free vibration of the systems shown in Figs. P1.9 to P1.11.
1.11 Assuming the beam to be massless, each system has a single DOF defined as the vertical
deflection under the weight w. The flexural rigidity of the beam is E I and the length is L.

1.12 Determine the natural frequency of a weight w suspended from a spring at the midpoint of a
simply supported beam (Fig. P1.12). The length of the beam is L, and its flexural rigidity is
E I . The spring stiffness is k. Assume the beam to be massless.
