Write down the equation of motion of the system. {3 marks] If the system is critically damped, determine the values of the spring stiffieess, 4, and damping coefficient, c, of the self-closing mechanism so that the natural frequency does not exceed 1.2 radi/sec. [4 marks] Determine the initial velocity required to open the door to an angle 75° from the closed position and draw a sketch of the response. [9 marks] If a mass of 4kg is attached to the door at a distance of 0.5m from the hinge show that the damping ratio ofthe modified system is given by ¢ = [+ [4 marks} Self-closing mechanism Figure Ql. Page 2 of 7 ENGG301 School of Engineering Professor John Mottershead 4482 2. A simple seismometer used to measure ground motion is shown in Figure Q.2. If the mass m=0.08kg, stiffness = 400N/m and damper ¢=5.66Ns/m find the natural frequency and damping ratio of the system, Calculate the actual amplitude of ground vibration if the device gives a reading of 2.5 mm at 22 Hz, [6 marks] Determine the lowest frequency of ground vibration that can be measured by the seismometer if the reading is not to exceed the actual amplitude of vibration of the ground by more than 5%, (10 marks] Comment on why it is advantageous for the seismometer’s natural frequency to be lower than the frequency of the ground vibration, [4 marks] m |__, EF Reading Figure Q.2, Page 3 of 7 ENGG301 School of Engineering Professor John Mottershead 4482 3. Aload of mass mis dropped suddenly onto a truck with a suspension of stiffness kand damping ¢.
