1. Obtain the free response of 2̈𝑥 + 128𝑥 = 0

(a) In the form of 𝑥 = 𝐴1 sin 𝜔𝑛 𝑡 + 𝐴2 cos 𝜔𝑛 𝑡, and
(b) In the form of 𝑥 = 𝐴 sin(𝜔𝑛 𝑡 + 𝜑).
The initial conditions are 𝑥(0) = 0.05 m and 𝑥̇ (0) = −0.3 m/s.

Question 2 and 3 please refer to the Table 3.4-1

9. A free vibrations test is run to determine the stiffness and damping properties of an elastic
element. A 20 kg block is attached to the element. The block is displaced 1 cm and released.
The resulting oscillations are monitored with the results shown in Figure 1. Determine k
and c for this element.
