vibrates in simple harmonic motion with a period of 5 s. When the same two
springs are connected in parallel to the same block, the block vibrates with a

PROBLEM 19.26
The period of vibration for a barrel floating in salt water is found to be
0.58 s when the barrel is empty and 1.8 s when it is filled with 55 gallons of
crude oil. Knowing that the density of the oil is 900 kg/m3, determine (a) the
mass of the empty barrel, (b) the density of the salt water,
ρ

force of the water on the bottom of the barrel can be modeled as a spring
with constant k =

PROBLEM 19.30
A 40-mm deflection of the second floor of a building is measured directly under a newly installed 3500-kg
piece of rotating machinery, which has a slightly unbalanced rotor. Assuming that the deflection of the floor is
proportional to the load it supports, determine (a) the equivalent spring constant of the floor system, (b) the
speed in rpm of the rotating machinery that should be avoided if it is not to coincide with the natural
frequency of the floor-machinery system.
