8 Derive equation of motion for forced vibration with harmonic force. Write the 10 CO2
expression for total response of forced vibration.

9 Draw vector representation of the forces for damped vibration. Also discuss the effect 10 CO2

10 An aircraft instrument of mass 10kg is to be isolated from the engine vibrations. The 10 CO2
engine runs at speeds ranging from 1800 rpm to 2500 rpm. Natural rubber isolators
with negligible damping are used. Determine the rubber stiffness for 90% isolation.
