A spring mass system with a natural frequency fn = 12 Hz is attached to a vibration table. The table is set to vibrate at 16 Hz, 0.5 g maximum acceleration:
a. What is the amplitude of the table's motion in inches?
b. What is the magnification factor M of this undamped system?
c. What is the maximum displacement of the mass assuming no dampening?
d. What is the maximum acceleration of the mass assuming the packaging can be modeled as a viscous damper with a damping ratio of 0.2?
e. Is the motion of the mass in phase or out of phase with the motion of the table?
