A beam mounted rotary fan has a natural frequency, which coincided with the speed of operation of 1200 rpm. The rotor of the fan has an unbalance of 150 N mm. It is proposed to attach an absorber so that the resulting fundamental natural frequency is 1080 cpm. If the weight of the fan housing is 2 kN, determine the weight and stiffness of the absorber system. Also, find the amplitude of the absorber mass.
