1. A reciprocating engine is mounted on a foundation as shown in Figure. The
unbalanced forces and moments developed in the engine are transmitted to
the frame and the foundation. An elastic pad is placed between the engine
and the foundation block to reduce the transmission of vibration. Develop
two mathematical models of the system using a gradual refinement of the
modeling process

2. A car moving over a rough road can be modeled considering (a) weight of
the car body, passengers, seats, front wheels, and rear wheels; (b) elasticity
of tires (suspension), main springs, and seats; and (c) damping of the seats,
shock absorbers, and tires. Develop three mathematical models of the system
using a gradual refinement in the modeling process.
