A system has a mass of 4000 kg and a stiffness of 1600 kN/m. Its natural period is closest to

  • A.0.31 s
  • B.0.10 s
  • C.3.14 s
  • D.0.63 s

Answer: A

The natural frequency is the square root of 1 600 000 divided by 4000, which is 20 rad/s, and the period is 2 pi over 20, about 0.31 seconds. Forgetting the factor of 2 pi gives roughly 0.05, and confusing frequency with period gives the others.
