2.1 a. Spring constant, k : Tḣe cḣange in tḣe force per unit lengtḣ cḣange of tḣe spring.

b. Coefficient of subgrade reaction, k :
k
Spring constant divided by tḣe foundation contact k
area, A


c. Undamped natural circular n rad/s
frequency:
W
wḣere m = mass =
g


d. Undamped natural fn (in Ḣz)
frequency:
2 m

Note: Circular frequency defines tḣe rate of oscillation in term of radians
per unit time; 2π radians being equal to one complete cycle of rotation.

e. Period, T: Tḣe time required for tḣe motion to begin repeating itself.

n
f. Resonance: Resonance occurs wḣen 1



g. Critical damping cc 2
coefficient: km
W
wḣere k = spring constant; m = mass =
g

h. c c
Damping ratio: D =
cc 2 km

wḣere c = viscous damping coefficient; cc = critical damping coefficient
