  • e
    A rotor having a mass of 5 kg, is mounted midway on a 0.01m dia shaft supported at the ends by two bearings. The bearing span is 0.40 m. Because of certain manufacturing in accuracies, the C. G. of th e disc is 0.02 mm away from the geometric centre of the rotor. If the sys tem rotates at 3000 r.p.m. find the amplitude of steady state vibra tions and the dynamic force transmitted to the bearings. Neglect damping. Take E
Section CAttempt any one part of the following: 07 x 1 = 07
  • a
    The cockpit of a firetruck is located at the end of a telescoping boom, as shown in Fig. The cockpit, along with the fireman, weighs 2000 N. Find the cockpit s natural frequency of vibration in the vertical direction
  • b
    Define Energy dissipation in viscous damping?
  • a
    A heavy machine, weighing 3000 N, is supported on a resilien t foundation. The static deflection of the foundation due to the weight of the machine is found to be 7.5 cm. It is observed that the mach ine vibrates with an amplitude of 1 cm when the base of the foundat ion is subjected to harmonic oscillation at the undamped natural frequency of the system with an amplitude of 0.25 cm. Find (a) the damping constant of the foundation (b) the dynamic force amplitude on the base, and (c) the amplitude of the displacement of the machine relative to the base
