3. A damper offers resistance 0.08 N at a constant velocity 0.06 m/s. The damper is used with a
spring of stiffness equal to 12 N/m. Determine the damping ratio and frequency of the system
when the mass of the system is 0.3 kg.

4. An SDOF system consists of a mass of 20 kg, a spring of stiffness 2200 N/m and a dashpot

N. Write the complete solution of the equation of motion.
OR
5. A 30 kg mass is mounted on a isolator whose stiffness is 5 kN/m. When the system is

difference between the excitation and steady state response is 30 0. Determine (i) damping
ratio and (ii) maximum deflection due to this excitation.
