Example 1. A horizontal platform rests on four vertical springs, each of stiffness 15 kN/m. What will be the frequency of oscillation of the table if it has a mass of 2 kg? Determine also the angular frequency and the periodic time. (27.6 hz, 173 rad/s, .036 s )
In this numerical,a platform is
supported on 4 springs.So in this case all the 4 springs will
deflect equally and hence they are in parallel arrangement.So we
will first find equivalent stiffness and then using the respective
formulas, required answers can be evaluated.
