This value is then divided by 10 (the gain) to obtain the actual voltage amplitude value. The acceleration
for both bottom floor and top floor are then calculated by dividing the actual voltage amplitude value by
its sensitivity of accelerometer for respective floor, and then multiply by 9.81. For example, for bottom
floor:
actual voltage amplitude value
9.81 = 2
95.44 103 /
Displacement amplitude, and acceleration amplitude, a can be related through simple harmonic
motions relationship:
= 2 = (2)2
The above steps are formulated in the data sheet to calculate displacement amplitude. Graphs will be
shown in question (b).

F for this case is the centripetal force from the motor, where
= 2 = (2)2
By using Excel, the theoretical displacement amplitude is plotted over 7Hz to 23Hz, with an increment of
0.01 Hz.
Below are two figures for questions (a) and (b):

Assuming negligible damping in the system has little or no effect to the calculated frequencies as
shown in 1(f).The slight difference might come from small damping effect of air resistance (happen in
practical world) and inaccurate measurement. Same goes to the theoretical displacement amplitude
where the values shown are higher than the experimental ones. The theoretical displacement amplitude
also shows anti-resonance for bottom floor, but not for top floor.
