A vibrating system is defined by the following parameters: m = 4 kg, k = 150 N/m, C = 6 N-Sec /m. Determine (i) the damping factor (ii) the natural frequency of damped vibration (iii) logarithmic decrement (iv) the ratio of two consecutive amplitudes (v) the number of cycles after which the original amplitude is reduced to 20 percent.

The amplitude of vibration of a single degree of freedom spring-mass-damper system is observed to reduce to 15% of its initial value after 5 cycles. Spring stiffness equals 1509 N/m and mass equals 16.5 kg. Determine: The undamped natural frequency; The damped natural frequency; The logarithmic decrement; The damping ratio; and The coefficient of damping.

A damped system has the following parameters: $m=2 \mathrm{~kg}, c=3 \mathrm{~N}-\mathrm{s} / \mathrm{m},$ and $k=40 \mathrm{~N} / \mathrm{m} .$ Determine the natural frequency, damping ratio, and the type of response of the system in free vibration. Find the amount of damping to be added or subtracted to make the system critically damped.
