Hint: 1. Take the beam as spring and derive it’s spring constant.
Natural frequency
2. Determine the natural frequency of the horizontal pendulum shown. Neglect the
mass of the arm. [Steidel, Problem 2.31, page 65]
Natural frequency
3. The uniform wheel of mass m is supported in the vertical plane by the light
flexible band ABC and the spring, which has a stiffness k. The wheel has a moment
of inertia about the geometric center O, and rolls without slipping on the band
ABC. Determine the natural frequency of the system. [Steidel, Problem 2.33, page
65]
