Vibration absorbers are used in railroad cars to protect sensitive loads from large acceleration due to periodic excitation given by rail links. For certain trains, the rail connection is 5 m. The car, when empty, has a mass of 25,000 kg. Two vibration absorbers are used, each having a mass of 12,000 kg. Absorbers for certain cars are designed to remove vibrations from the main mass when the car is loaded with 12,000 kg of cargo and moves at 100 m / s. The personal frequency of the uncarried carriage is 165 rad / s.

(a) At what speed will resonance occur in cars with a load of 12,000 kg?

(b) What is the best speed for carriages when loaded with 25,000 kg of cargo?

Markov Chains: A small town purchases salt by railroad-car loads to be used for melting ice and snow on the roads during the winter. One railroad car holds twelve tons of salt. The amount of salt used in any one storm depends upon the severity and duration of the storm. Past experience shows that, of the storms which are serious enough to call for any salt, some will require only one pass of the salt trucks, some will require two...
