A mobile tower is pulled by a steel cable by applying 35 kN force horizontally and displaced by 40 0 mm. The cable suddenly breaks and the resulting free vibration recorded. At the end of five cycles the time is 3.0 second and the amplitude is 30 mm . Determine damping ratio, natural period of an damped vibration, effective stiffness. , effective weight, and damping co-efficient.
