A 400 kg machine is placed at the mid-span of a 3.2-m simply supported steel (E = 200 x 10^9 N/m^2) beam. The machine is observed to vibrate with a natural frequency of 9.3 HZ. What is the moment of inertia of the beam's cross section about its neutral axis?

Aloaded platform of total mass 500 kg is supported by a dashpot and by a set of springs of effective stiffness 72 kn/m. it is observed that when the platform is depressed through a distance x = 12.5 cm below its equilibrium position and then released without any initial velocity; it reaches its equilibrium position in the shortest possible time without overshoot. find the position and velocity of the loaded platform 0.10 sec. after its release. if a further load of 400 kg is added to the platform, find, i) the frequency of damped vibrations, and i) the amplitude of vibration after 2 complete oscillations, given that the initial amplitude is 15 cm.
