Question: A machine and its foundation weigh is 1 0 ( L ) k N . The spring constant and the damping ratio of the soil

A machine and its foundation weigh is 10(L)kN. The spring constant and the damping ratio of the soil supporting the foundation may be taken as (L)103kNm and c=(L)102kN-sm. Forced vibration of the foundation is caused by a force that can be expressed as determine:
Q(kN)=(L)sin2t
Determine:
(a) amplitude of motion during machine vibration,
(b) maximum dynamic force transmitted to the subgrade during machine vibration.
(c) the type of system and its frequency after turning off the machine, and
(d) the ratio of two successive amplitudes after turning off the machine.
A machine and its foundation weigh is 1 0 ( L ) k
