Question: A lumped mass ( machine foundation ) subject to steady - state forced vibrations with viscous damping is conceptually illustrated below ( next page )

A lumped mass (machine foundation) subject to steady-state forced vibrations with viscous damping is conceptually illustrated below (next page).
(A) Using Excel software, program your own computational driver (spreadsheet) to generate a full set of frequency response curves (last page) relating the magnification factor N to the frequency ratio (omega )/(omega _(n)) defined by the steady, sinusoidally varying harmonic force acting on the lumped mass.
NOTE 1: You are required to generate frequency response curves for the following
specific values of damping ratio, D=0.00,0.05,0.10,0.15,0.20,0.25,0.30,0.35,0.40,0.45,0.50,0.55,0.60,0.65,0.70,0.75,0.80,0.85,0.90,0.95, and 1.00.
NOTE 2: You are required to set the horizontal scale to a final value, (omega)/(omega _(n))=5.0.
(B) For each specified value of damping ratio (D) under question (A) above, calculate the magnification factor N under resonance and report your results in a reasonably organized, tabular fashion.
