Question 1

Consider a mass-spring-damper system with a mass of 5 kg and a spring constant of 200 N/m. Calculate the undamped natural frequency.

💡 Hint: Use the formula for natural frequency.

Question 2

Design a simple SDOF model for a building with a mass of 1500 kg and a stiffness of 60000 N/m. What is the natural frequency, and what does it imply for earthquake resistance?

💡 Hint: Insert your parameters into the natural frequency formula.
