To isolate that machine effectively, its mounting should have a natural frequency of about

  • A.5 Hz or lower
  • B.25 Hz exactly
  • C.50 Hz or higher
  • D.250 Hz or higher

Answer: A

Correct answer: 5 Hz or lower

Isolation requires a frequency ratio above \( \sqrt{2} \), and effective isolation a ratio of about three or more. At 25 Hz forcing:

\[ \frac{25}{5} = 5 \]

which gives a comfortable margin. A mounting at 25 Hz would sit exactly at resonance and amplify the force badly, and a stiffer mounting still would be worse. The consequence is that isolators must be soft, with a large static deflection - the practical constraint on how low the mounting frequency can be taken.
