Q-1

Obtain the frequency equation for the system shown below. Also determine the natural
frequencies and mode shapes when k1 = 2k, k2 = k, m1 = m and m2 = 2m.

Q-2

Write the mathematical model of a double pendulum. Find its frequencies and mode
shapes.

Q-3

Determine the natural frequencies of the coupled pendulum shown in the figure below.
Assume that the light spring of stiffness k is un-stretched and the pendulums are vertical
in the equilibrium position.

Q-4

Consider a stepped shaft with two discs as shown below. The following shaft dimensions
are to be taken: l1 = 0.5m, l2 = 0.3m, l3 = 0.2m, d1 = 0.015m, d2 = 0.012m, d3 = 0.01m.
Take the modulus of rigidity of the shaft as 0.81011 N/m. Discs have polar mass
moment of inertia as Ip1 = 0.015 kg-m2 and Ip2= 0.01 = kg-m2. Obtain natural frequencies,
mode shapes, and the location of the node.
