constant k = 2000 N/m, and damping coefficient c = 50 N⋅s/m. Calculate: (a) the natural
frequency of the undamped system, (b) the damping ratio, (c) the damped natural

time period?
Problem 10:
Consider a small spring about 30 mm (or 1.18 in) long, welded to a stationary table
(ground) so that it is fixed at the point of contact, with a 12-mm (or 0.47-in) bolt welded
to the other end, which is free to move. The mass of this system is about 49.2×10^3 kg
(equivalent to about 1.73 ounces). The spring stiffness can be measured using the
method suggested in Figure 1.4 and yields a spring constant of k=8578 N/m. Calculate
the natural frequency and period.
