Question: A standard mass - spring - damper system is subjected to the harmonic ( sinusoidal ) excitation force ( f ( t )

A standard mass-spring-damper system is subjected to the harmonic (sinusoidal) excitation force \( f(t)\) with amplitude 100 N . The system mass \( M=5\mathrm{~kg}\). When the excitation frequency is 2.5 Hz , the (steady-state) vibration displacement amplitude is 82.3 mm ; when the excitation frequency increases to 5 Hz , the displacement amplitude is 28.7 mm . Determine the stiffness \( k \) and damping coefficient \( c \) of the system.
