#1 A mass measurement system behaves as a second-order system (consisting of a mass = 50g, a spring, and a viscous damping element). To determine the damping the ratio, the system was exposed to a step input and decaying oscillating amplitude of the system output was measured. Results of these measurements showed that the damping ratio = 0.7 and the ringing frequency fd =389 Hz. Calculate the following and report results using 3 significant digits minimum:

The natural frequency, in Hz

The spring constant, in kN/m

Logarithmic decrement ln(x1/xn)

The period of oscillation when the system is exposed to a step input, in milliseconds

The dynamic error, ?, at 450 Hz in % (include the sign of the error)

The phase and time delay between input and output for sinusoidal inputs of 450 Hz in rad and milliseconds, respectively

Can we use this system to measure mass in outer space? How? Use a diagram to explain.

3) Consider a spherical planet in our solar system with radius, R, that behaves like a perfect blackbody, absorbing all of the sunlight hitting its surface and radiating light isotropically according to its temperature. At what range of distances from the Sun could this planet support liquid water on its surface? Hint: Solve for the equilibrium temperature of the planet where the light energy it absorbs equals the energy radiated away, and then find the distances where this temperature is...
