ii. Formulate the equation of motion for this vibratory system. Express the
equation of motion in terms of 𝜃.
[8 marks]
b. Evaluate and explain the changes that could be observed in the free-
vibration response of the system when the initial displacement, 𝑥𝑜 , initial
velocity, 𝑥̇ 𝑜 , mass, m and spring constant, k remain the same, while the
damping constant, c is changed to 100 Ns/m.
