Question: A (10-mathrm{kg}) laser flow-measuring device is used on a table in a laboratory. Because of operation of other equipment, the table is subject to vibration.

A \(10-\mathrm{kg}\) laser flow-measuring device is used on a table in a laboratory. Because of operation of other equipment, the table is subject to vibration. Accelerometer measurements show that the dominant component of the table vibrations is at \(300 \mathrm{~Hz}\) and has an amplitude of \(4.3 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}^{2}\). For effective operation, the laser can be subject to an acceleration amplitude of \(0.7 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}^{2}\).

(a) Design an undamped isolator to reduce the transmitted acceleration, to an acceptable amplitude.

(b) Design the isolator such that it has a damping ratio of 0.04 .
