Vibration Problem with Fixed End Beam and Unbalanced Motor | Homework Help

[bikramjit das]

vibration problem!

Homework Statement

Question:There is a fixed end beam PQ. It is carrying a motor M. The motor is unbalanced and when the motor is rotating ,it is making the beam to vibrate with a frequency equal to the speed of the motor. A small mass is kept at point A just above the motor on the beam. it also goes up & down along with the beam . When the motor speed is 120 - 150rpm, the object at A is loosing contact with the beam & is actually dancing on the beam. Determine the amplitude of vibration when the speed of motor is 120 rpm and when 150 rpm . Then calculate the natural frequency of the system.

Homework Equations

can't get any of them

The Attempt at a Solution

This is a base excitation problem. but the natural frequency is diff. to find. pls help

The motor is unbalanced and when the motor is rotating ,it is making the beam to vibrate with a frequency equal to the speed of the motor

which speed are we talking about here?

 

[bikramjit das]

@cupid: u can assume the speed of motor as N. This is equal to the frequency of vibration of beam (base).

 

[cupid.callin]

i mean ... are we talking about angular speed?

 

[bikramjit das]

yeah, angular speed...pls solve it quickly, grave need
