Determine the combined spring constant k

Reference no: EM131429054

A counter-rotating eccentric mass exciter consisting of two rotating 400-g masses describing circles of 150-mm radius at the same speed but in opposite senses is placed on a machine element to induce a steady-state vibration of the element and to determine some of the dynamic characteristics of the element. At a speed of 1200 rpm a stroboscope shows the eccentric masses to be exactly under their respective axes of rotation and the element to be passing through its position of static equilibrium. Knowing that the amplitude of the motion of the element at that speed is 15 mm and that the total mass of the system is 140 kg, determine

(a) the combined spring constant k,

(b) the damping factor c/cc
