1. What is damper? Explain fluid dashpot in detail with neat sketch.

2. Write short notes on: forced vibrations with rotating and reciprocating
unbalance.

3. What is degree of freedom? What is degree of freedom of a cantilever beam.

4. Derive the equation of motion for compound pendulum

5. Derive the equation for determining the natural frequency of vibration for the
system shown in fig. 1. Hence find natural frequency of vibration of the
system.
