Electric Motor Weight
Electric Motor Weight
The weight of the electric motor is 500 N.
Calculating Mass (m)
Calculating Mass (m)
Mass is calculated by dividing weight by the acceleration due to gravity (g = 9.81 m/s²).
Electric Motor Mass
Electric Motor Mass
Calculate the mass: m = 500 N / 9.81 m/s² = 50.968 kg
Study Notes
- An electric motor weighing 500 N is mounted on different foundations, and its free-vibration responses are analyzed.
- The objective is to identify:
- The nature of damping provided by each foundation.
- The spring constant and damping coefficient of each foundation.
- The undamped and damped natural frequencies of the electric motor.
Mass Calculation
- The motor's mass is calculated using its weight: m = W/g
- Where W = 500 N and g = 9.81 m/s²
- Therefore, m ≈ 50.968 kg
Figure (a) Analysis
- The subsequent steps involve analyzing Figure (a) to determine the damping nature, spring constant, damping coefficient, and natural frequencies.
