A compacting machine based on a cantilever type beam design utilizes a mass of 102 kg at its free end and
runs at a frequency of 5Hz using a motor driven cam at the center of the beam. Find the cam dimension (x)
and the steady state compacting force (F c) applied by the compactor. Neglect damping of any kind and also
sketch the conceptual design of the compacting machine. You are allowed to use one spring having a spring
constant of 5kN/m to provide additional stiffness to the beam. Assume beam length of 1.5 m.
