Q.5 For the system shown in figure, find out the natural frequencies of vibration and the
principal modes of vibration. Stiffness of each spring is ‘k’ N/m
Q.6 Derive the equations of motion and find the natural frequencies and mode shapes for
a two rotor system shown in figure.

two natural frequencies of the system. Also establish the principal modes and mode
shapes.
Q.8 Two uniform rods AB and CD are pivoted at their upper ends as shown in Figure.
Their lower ends are at the same level and are connected by a spring. Each rod weighs
5 kg/m and is vertical in equilibrium position with the spring unstrained. The spring
has a stiffness of 2940 N/m. The spring is now compressed slightly and released. Find
