Question:

An air compressor, of mass \(500 \mathrm{~kg}\) and operating at \(1500 \mathrm{rpm}\), is to be mounted on a suitable isolator. A helical spring with a stiffness of \(7 \mathrm{MN} / \mathrm{m}\), another helical spring with a stiffness of \(2 \mathrm{MN} / \mathrm{m}\), and a shock absorber with a damping ratio of 0.15 are available for use. Select the best possible isolation system for the compressor.
