Tutorial 4

The document presents a series of problems related to spring-mass systems subjected to harmonic forces, including calculations for spring extension, static displacement, amplitude of forced motion, and resonance effects. It also addresses the concept of beating in oscillatory systems and requires determining natural frequencies and periods of oscillation. Each problem involves applying principles of mechanics and dynamics to derive specific values based on given parameters.

1. A weight of 50 N is suspended from a spring of stiffness 4000 N/m and is subjected to


a harmonic force of amplitude 60 N and frequency 6 Hz. Find
(a) The extension of the spring due to the suspended weight,
(b) The static displacement of the spring due to the maximum applied force, and
(c) The amplitude of forced motion of the weight.
2. A spring-mass system is subjected to a harmonic force whose frequency is close to the
natural frequency of the system. If the forcing frequency is 39.8 Hz and the natural
frequency is 40.0 Hz, determine the period of beating.
3. A spring-mass system consists of a mass weighing 100 N and a spring with a stiffness
of 2000 N/m. The mass is subjected to resonance by a harmonic force 𝐹(𝑡) = 25 𝑐𝑜𝑠𝜔𝑡

4. A mass m is suspended from a spring of stiffness 4000 N/m and is subjected to a
harmonic force having an amplitude of 100 N and a frequency of 5 Hz. The amplitude
of the forced motion of the mass is observed to be 20 mm. Find the value of m.
5. A spring-mass system with m = 10 kg and k = 5000 N/m is subjected to a harmonic
force of amplitude 250 N and frequency 𝜔. If the maximum amplitude of the mass is
observed to be 100 mm, find the value of 𝜔.
6. In Figure-1, a periodic force 𝐹(𝑡) = 𝐹0 𝑐𝑜𝑠𝜔𝑡 is applied at a point on the spring that is
located at a distance of 25 percent of its length from the fixed support. Assuming that
c = 0. find the steady-state response of the mass m.

force. The response is found to exhibit the phenomenon of beats with the period of
beating equal to 0.5 s and the period of oscillation equal to 0.05 s. Find the natural
frequency of the system and the frequency of the harmonic force.
