For the structural system shown below, evaluate the i) effective stiffness, ii) natural frequency and natural period; given that the length of cantilever L 4m, modulus of elasticity of cantilever E-22000 MPa, second moment of area I =1.5x 10 m^2, stiffness of springs k =35 kN/m, and mass m 9.8 kN. If the initial displacement is 30 mm and the initial velocity is 25 mm, iii) write the equation of motion of the system, iv) compute the maximum amplitude of motion, and v) compute the amplitude of motion after 1s.
