Question 1

What occurs in free vibrations?

  • A. External forces act on the structure
  • B. The structure oscillates after being displaced
  • C. The structure remains at rest

💡 Hint: Think about what happens when you push a swing and let go.

Question 2

True or False: In an undamped system, the vibrations eventually stop.

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Consider how a pendulum behaves in a vacuum.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A structure experiences free vibrations after being disturbed. If its mass is doubled, how does this affect its natural frequency?

💡 Hint: Refer to the relationship expressed in the natural frequency formula.

Question 2

For a damped system with a damping ratio of 0.5, describe the expected motion behavior compared to critically damped systems.

💡 Hint: Consider how oscillations behave differently based on energy dissipation.
