(late submissions will not be accepted)
Submit to: Hazal ALTU (Hangar Building)

Homework Format
Draw the free body diagrams (also necessary figures and diagrams) for each and every particle or
body.
Use the vector notation described in the class.
Write down every step of your solution procedure neatly.
Use both side of the A4 paper for the environment.

Homework that you submit should be your own work. Copying results from a friend or a solution
manual will not be tolerated.

1. Consider a spring mass system with = 500 / and = 10 , subject to a harmonic force
() = 100 sin(10) . Find the total response of the system under initial conditions
0 = 0.1 and 0 = 15 / . Derive the solution for the response on your own by assuming a
solution. Identify the transient and steady-state solutions.

2. Derive the equation of motion and find the steady-state solution of the system shown in the figure
below with the following data; = 500 /, = 1 , = 10 , 0 = 100 /,
= 900 .

3. For the system shown in figure below, x and y denote, respectively, the absolute displacements of the
mass m and the end Q of the dashpot 1
(a) Derive the equation of motion of the mass m,
(b) Find the steady-state displacement of the mass m
