1 Determine for equivalent stiffness and natural frequency of the system.

2 Determine for equivalent stiffness and natural frequency of the system.

K1= 500N/mm, K2= 600N/m, K1= 500N/mm, K3= 900N/mm, K1= 200N/mm and m = 550kg

3 A collar of mass 40kg is attached to a spring of stiffness 50N/mm. If the collar is moved 120mm
from its equilibrium position and released, calculate the maximum velocity and maximum
acceleration of the collar during the resulting motion. Neglect friction.

4 Find amplitude and time period of a particle performing SHM, which has a velocity of 50m/s and
30m/s at a distances 14m and 18m respectively from the mean position.

5 A 40kg mass is supported by a vertical spring of stiffness 200N/m. It is observed that when mass is
65mm below its equilibrium position, its velocity is 0.9m/s. Calculate frequency, time period,
amplitude of free vibrations, maximum velocity and maximum acceleration of the mass.

2 If a horizontal force of 400 N is acting on a body weighing 800 N resting on a smooth horizontal
floor. Calculate the work done by the force on a body to displace it by 5 m in horizontal direction.

3 A man weighing 1000 N dives into a swimming pool from a diving board of 20 m height. The man
was found to go down in the water by 3m. Find out the resistance offered by the water. Neglect air
resistance. (g = 9.81 m/s2)

4 A weight of 300N fall on pan spring scale from a height of 2m. Calculate the maximum deflection of
the spring. The weight of the pan is 20N. Assume perfectly plastic impact.

5 A swimmer of 100 Kg weight dives in a swimming pool from the platform which is at a height 25 m
above the water surface. He goes down in to water by 6 m and then coming up. Find the average
resistance offered by the water.
