Vibration related: Rigid body modes

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on analyzing a second degree of freedom system with linear and angular displacements. Participants are asked to clarify the implications of the forcing frequency exceeding the second rigid mode frequency. Understanding this relationship is crucial for determining the spring stiffness and natural frequencies of the system. The significance lies in how it affects the system's response and stability under external forces. Insights into these dynamics can aid in the overall analysis of the rigid body modes.

Hi, everyone. I'm required to complete an open ended analysis of the following problem:

http://imagefrog.net/show.php/146581_image.png http://imagefrog.net/show.php/146581_image.png I'm not requesting a solution, I'm only looking for assistance in relation to determining the spring stiffness and natural frequencies of the rigid body.

Please explain your understanding of the extract highlighted in the above image. Hence, what is significant about the forcing frequency being greater than the second rigid mode frequency? And how does this assist with determining the spring stiffness or natural frequency of the lumped model.

Please note this is a second degree freedom system, with a linear (up-down) displacement and an angular (about the center of mass) displacement.

Thanks in advance!

Thread 'Errors and significant figures'

I multiplied the values first without the error limit. Got 19.38. rounded it off to 2 significant figures since the given data has 2 significant figures. So = 19. For error I used the above formula. It comes out about 1.48. Now my question is. Should I write the answer as 19±1.5 (rounding 1.48 to 2 significant figures) OR should I write it as 19±1. So in short, should the error have same number of significant figures as the mean value or should it have the same number of decimal places as...

Thread 'Collision of a bullet on a rod-string system: query'

Thread 'Collision of a bullet on a rod-string system: query'

In this question, I have a question. I am NOT trying to solve it, but it is just a conceptual question. Consider the point on the rod, which connects the string and the rod. My question: just before and after the collision, is ANGULAR momentum CONSERVED about this point? Lets call the point which connects the string and rod as P. Why am I asking this? : it is clear from the scenario that the point of concern, which connects the string and the rod, moves in a circular path due to the string...

Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanging mass'

Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanging mass'

Let's declare that for the cylinder, mass = M = 10 kg Radius = R = 4 m For the wall and the floor, Friction coeff = ##\mu## = 0.5 For the hanging mass, mass = m = 11 kg First, we divide the force according to their respective plane (x and y thing, correct me if I'm wrong) and according to which, cylinder or the hanging mass, they're working on. Force on the hanging mass $$mg - T = ma$$ Force(Cylinder) on y $$N_f + f_w - Mg = 0$$ Force(Cylinder) on x $$T + f_f - N_w = Ma$$ There's also...
