- A 91-kg machine element supported by four springs, each of constant k = 175 N/m, is subjected to a periodic force of frequency 0.8 Hz and amplitude 89 N. Determine the amplitude of the fluctuating force transmitted to the foundation if (a ) a dashpot with a coefficient of damping c=365 N.s/m is connected to the machine element and to the ground, (b) the dashpot is removed.arrow_forwardA 360-lb motor is supported by springs of total constant 12.5 kips/ft. The unbalance of the rotor is equivalent to a 0.9-oz weight located 7.5 in. from the axis of rotation. Determine the range of speeds of the motor for which the amplitude of the fluctuating force exerted on the foundation is less than 5 lb.arrow_forwardA machine of mass 75 kg is mounted on springs and is fitted with a dashpot to damp out vibrations. There are three springs each of stiffness 10 N/mm and it is found that the amplitude of vibration diminishes from 38.4 mm to 6.4 mm in two complete oscillations. Assuming that the damping force varies as the velocity, determine : 1. the resistance of the dash-pot at unit velocity ; 2. the ratio of the frequency of the damped vibration to the frequency of the undamped vibration ; and 3. the periodic time of the damped vibration.arrow_forward

The rotating weight is 40 lb (including wb) and the radius of the washer basket e is 9 in. Knowing the washer has an equivalent spring constant k = 70 lb/ft and damping ratio and during the spin cycle the drum rotates at 250 rpm, determine the amplitude of the motion and the magnitude of the force transmitted to the sides of the washing machine.arrow_forwardA 4-kg collar can slide on a frictionless horizontal rod and is attached to a spring with a constant of 450 N/m.

Collar A is attached to a spring with a constant of k = 1.5 kN/m and can slide on a horizontal rod, while collar B can slide freely on a vertical rod. Knowing that the system is in equilibrium when bar AB is vertical and that collar A is given a small displacement and released, determine the period of the resulting vibrations.arrow_forward

The wheels are synchronized so that the vertical positions of the unbalanced masses are always identical. The total mass of the device is 10 kg.
