Theory of Machines Miscellaneous

  1. A mass-spring-dashpot system with mass m = 10 kg, spring constant k = 6250 N/m is excited by a harmonic excitation of 10 cos(25t) N. At the steady state, the vibration amplitude of the mass is 40 mm. The damping coefficient (c, in Ns/m) of the dashpot is __________.
    1. 10Ns/m
    2. 9Ns/m
    3. 7Ns/m
    4. 8Ns/m
Correct Option: A

X =
F
= 40 mm = 0.04
(k - mω²)² + (Cω)²

F = 10 N
ω = 25
⇒ 0.04 =
10
(6250 - 10 × 25²)² + (C × 25)²

C = 10Ns/m
