A precision grinding machine shown in the figure below is supported on an isolator that has a stiffness of 3.6 MN/m and a viscous damping constant of 4.2 kNs/m. The floor on which the machine is mounted is subjected to a harmonic disturbance of y(t) = Vsin300rrt due to the operation of an unbalanced engine in the vicinity of the grinding machine.
