Explanation Given information: The period of a simple pendulum of length l is given by, τ = 2 π l g ( 1 + 1 4 sin 2 θ m 2 ) Here, θ m is the amplitude of oscillation. For small oscillations the period is given by the formula: ( τ n ) 0 = 2 π l g But, if the period of the pendulum is 0.5% longer than the period of the same pendulum then, τ n = 1 + 0.5 100 ( τ n ) 0 o r , τ n = 1.0052 π l g By using the given formula the equation can be written as; τ n = ( τ n ) 0 [ 1 + 1 4 ( sin 2 θ m 2 ) ] 1

Free undamped vibrations

Whenever an object/system displaces in either side of its equilibrium position with the help of an external/internal means, then the object/system moves regularly or randomly on both sides of its equilibrium position. This motion is called vibration. Gen…

As shown in the Fig. 3, the CM of a cylinder of mass m and radius R is connected to the top of hoop of mass m by a spring. The spring constant is assumed to be known and it is denoted by k. At a given moment the system is slightly compressed and then suddenly released. After the release, both rigid objects roll without slipping. Determine the angular frequency of the resulting oscillation. It is assumed that the spring remains horizontal throughout the motion. Figure 3: Coupled Oscillator

A machine of mass 75 kg is mounted on springs and is fitted with a dashpot to damp out vibrations. There are three springs each of stiffness 10 N/mm and it is found that the amplitude of vibration diminishes from 38.4 mm to 6.4 mm in two complete oscillations. Assuming that the damping force varies as the velocity, determine : 1. the resistance of the dash-pot at unit velocity ; 2. the ratio of the frequency of the damped vibration to the frequency of the undamped vibration ; and 3. the periodic time of the damped vibration.

A single degree of freedom system consists of a mass of 20 kg and a spring of stiffness 4000 N/m. The amplitudes of successive cycles are found to be 50, 45, 40, 35, ...mm. Determine the nature and magnitude of the damping force and the frequency of the damped vibration.
