For the system shown, (a) determine the kinetic energy in terms of %, and the equivalent mass at me, (b) determine the potential energy in terms of x, and the equivalent Y, stiffness atmo, (c) write the expression for the natural Frequency in cps. 2. A hydrometer float, as shown in the figure, is used to measure the specific gravity of liquids. The mass of the float is 0.0372 kg, and the diameter of the cylindrical section protruding above the surface is 0.0064 m. If water weighs 9802 N/m’, determine the period of vibration when the float is allowed to bob up and down in a fluid of specific gravity 1.2. ‘An industrial machine of mass 453.4 kg is supported ‘on springs with a statical deflection of 0.508 cm. The machine has a rotating unbalance of 0.2303 kg . m, ‘and operate at 1200 rpm. Assuming damping to be negligible, determine, (a) the dynamical amplitude at this speed et (b) the force transmitted to the floor. te Two equal pendulums free to rotate about the x-x axis are coupled by a rubber hose of x a torsional stiffness k Ib. in,/rad. If ¢= 19.3, in, mg = 3.86 Ib, and k = 2.0 Ib in/rad, determine, h f (a) the natural frequencies for the natural modes of vibration in rad/s, (b) the modal shapes of the normal modes of vibration.
