A body weighs 135 N. A spring and a dashpot are attached to the body in the manner shown in Figure 2.2b. The spring constant is 2600 N/m. The dashpot has a resistance of 0.7 N at a velocity of 60 mm/s. Determine the following for free vibration:
a. Damped natural frequency of the system
b. Damping ratio
c. Ratio of successive amplitudes of the body (Zn/Zn + 1)
d. Amplitude of the body 5 cycles after it is disturbed, assuming that at time t = 0, z = 25 mm

Q10;
A machine foundation can be identified as a mass-spring system. This is subjected to a forced vibration. The vibrating force is expressed as
![]()
Weight of machine + foundation = 290 kN
 Spring constant = 875 MN/m
Determine the maximum and minimum force transmitted to the subgrade.
