1. The machine to the right includes a rotor of radius e which rotates with
frequency $\omega_f$ = 30 rad/s counterclockwise about an axis through point O. The
machine has mass 2495 kg and is mounted on a stiff support with k = 1x$10^6$
N/m and c = 3000 Ns/m.
An engineer (who didn't take Mechanical Vibrations) unsuspectingly attaches
a sensor to the edge of the rotor (at a length e from point O). The sensor has
mass m = 5 kg. He notices that when the machine is running at operating
speed, it has a vertical vibration of 0.0025 m.
The equation of motion for this system is given as:
$M\ddot{x} + c\dot{x} + kx = me\omega_f^2 sin(\omega_f t)$
a. Show that the unbalance mass is located 0.7 m from point O.
b. Find the steady-state position of the unbalance mass at 0.5 s.
c. What is the maximum force exerted to the base?
