To analyze the motions of an automobile on its tires, we approximate a car by a bar of uniform mass (1000 kg) with a moment of inertia equal to 1333.3 kg m^2. The bar is 4 m long. The tire/suspension is approximated by a pair of springs with spring constant equal to 11.697 N/m^2 for each one. If the road profile is sinusoidal, with an amplitude of 20 cm and a wavelength of 10 m, at what speed will the car experience resonance? with what mode is this resonance associated?

A lathe can be modeled as an electric motor mounted on a steel table. The table plus the motor have a mass of 50 kg. The rotating parts of the lathe have a mass of 5 kg at a distance 0.1 m from the center. The damping ratio of the system is measured to be 0.06 (viscous damping) and its natural frequency in 7.5 Hz. Calculate the amplitude of the steady-state displacement of the motor, assuming wr=30 Hz.

a machine weighing 2000 N rests on a support, as illustrated in the fiugre. The support deflects about 5 cm as a result of the weight of the machine. The floor under the support is somewhat flexible and moves, because of the motion of a nearby machine, harmonically near resonance (r=1) with an amplitude of 0.2 cm. Model the floor as base motion, assume a damping ratio of 0.01, and calculate the transmitted force and the amplitude of the transmitted displacement.
