It is estimated that at least 80% vibration isolation is required to prevent damage to the instrument. The instrument weighs 85 N. a) What frequency ratio is required for 80% isolation? b) What frequency (25Hz or 35 Hz) will be critical when finding the stiffness of the required isolator? Explain your answer. No calculations are required.Name 20 pts EM406 Examination II Problem 2 October 14, 2003 2.1) (5 pts) A system is found to have the equation of motion, 112221yayy 0ybyy0+−=+−=&&&& What is the characteristic equation for this system? 2.2) (3 pts) What is a response spectrum? 2.3) (4 pts) Accelerometers give accurate measurements of the acceleration if: a) 1)2()1(1222=ζ+− rr b) 1)2()1(222=ζ+− rrr c) 1)2()1(2222=ζ+−rrr and if a) r < 0.2 b) r = 1 c) 2=r d) r >> 12.4) (4 pts) The reading of a vibrometer becomes reliable if: a) 1)2()1(1222=ζ+−rr b) 1)2()1(222=ζ+−rrr c) 1)2()1(2222=ζ+−rrr and if a) r < 0.2 b) r = 1 c) 2=r d) r >> 1 2.5) (6 pts) The system shown below is described by xG which is the displacement of the center of gravity measure positive up, and θ, which is the angle of the bar measured positive in a clockwise direction. When Matlab is used to obtain the natural modes of the system show below you get 22.0 0 2.78 -0.030eval , evec=0 303.0 1 1⎡⎤⎡ ⎤=⎢⎥⎢ ⎥⎣⎦⎣ ⎦ where “eval” are the eigenvalues and “evec” is the matrix of eigenvectors.

Both springs are initially undeflected. The center of gravity, G, is located at the center of the bar. a) Determine the differential equations of motion for the cart and the bar assuming small angles. You must show all work for credit. Put in second order matrix form (20 pts) Problem 3 continued on the next page.
