A small trailer and its load have a total mass of 250 kg. The trailer is supported by two springs, each of constant 10 kN/m, and is pulled over a road, the surface of which can be approximated by a sine curve with an amplitude of 40 mm and a wavelength of 5 m (i.e., the distance between successive crests is 5 m and the vertical distance from crest to trough is 80 mm). Determine (a) the speed at which resonance occur, (b) the amplitude of the vibration of the trailer at a speed of 50 km/h.

- The little brown bat is a common bat species in North America. It emits echolocation pulses at a frequency of 40 kHz, well above the range of human hearing. To allow observers to “hear” these bats, the bat detector as shown combines the bat’s sound wave at frequency f1 with a wave of frequency f2 from a tunable oscillator. The resulting beat frequency is isolated with a filter, then amplified and sent to a loudspeaker. To what frequency should the tunable oscillator be set to produce an audible beat frequency of 3 kHz?arrow_forwardEquivalent stiffness of a beam system is 105 N/m and mass of the object resting on the beam system is 1000 kg.
