Q.1) A mass m is attached at the end of a bar of negligible mass and is made to
vibrate in three different configurations, as indicated in Figure 1. Find the
configuration corresponding to the highest natural frequency.
Figure 1
Q.2) Derive the equation of motion and find the natural frequency of the system
shown in the Figure 2.

Q.3) The system shown in Figure 3 has a natural frequency of 5 Hz for the
following data:
m = 10 kg, J0 = 5 kg-m2, r1 = 10 cm, r2 = 25 cm. When the system is disturbed by
giving it an initial displacement, the amplitude of free vibration is reduced by 80
percent in 10 cycles. Determine the values of k and c.
