Question

Question 1 A rod is hinged at one end and supported by a spring of stiffness S at the other end. A mass m is attached at 1/3 of the length from the hinge and a dash-pot having a damping coefficient o is attached at 2/3 of the length from the hinge. See figure below. Neglecting the mass of the rod, dash-pot plunger and spring, find: 1.1 the equivalent mass at the spring (5) 1.2 the equivalent damping coefficient at the spring (5) 1.3 Derive the expression for the frequency of the damped free vibrations of the system (10) [20]

Step 1

Since the mass is not directly attached to the spring, we need to find the effective mass that contributes to the motion of the spring. The effective mass can be found by considering the ratio of the distance of the mass from the hinge to the length of the rod. Show more…
