An automotive engine weighing $$240$$ kg is supported on four springs with linear characteristics. Each of the front two springs have a stiffness of $$16$$ MN/m while the stiffness of each rear spring is $$32$$ MN/m. The engine speed (in rpm), at which resonance is likely to occur, is

A vehicle suspension system consists of a spring and a damper. The stiffness of the spring is $$3.6$$ kN/m and the damping constant of the damper is $$400$$ Ns/m. If the mass is $$50$$ kg, then the damping factor ($$\xi $$) and damped natural frequency ($${f_n}$$) respectively are

A uniform rigid rod of mass $$m =1kg$$ and length $$L=1$$ m is hinged at its centre & laterally supported at one end by a spring of spring constant $$k=300N/m.$$ The natural frequency $${\omega _n}$$ in rad/s is

The natural frequency of the spring mass system shown in the figure is closest to
