Question: A system with mass, M = 1 0 0 0 k g and 6 springs as shown is subjected to an initial upward displacement of

A system with mass, M=1000kg and 6 springs as shown is subjected
to an initial upward displacement of 0.040 m at time t=0.
If K1=5000Nm,K2=4000Nm,K3=5000Nm,K4=4000Nm,K5
=5000Nm and K6=3000Nm.(Spring 2 is nested in Spring 1 and
Spring 4 is nested in Spring 3).
Ignore the phase delay angle , and assume zero damping,
determine the following:
(a) The overall spring stiffness, Ke
(b) The oscillation frequency, fn, in Hz
(c) Sketch the system displacement versus time graph.
(d) Sketch the velocity versus time graph.
(e) Sketch the acceleration versus time graph.
(f) Calculate the Max Displacement, Max Velocity and Max
Acceleration and the oscillation period and label these on
your graphs.
