Figure Q4 shows a block with mass m linked to a stepped drum radius at r7. The motion of the block is influenced by a viscous damper with damping coefficient c. A spring stiffness k is attached to the outer part of the drum at radius r2. a) b) Derive the equation of motion of the system from the first principle. If the amplitude of vibration of the system decays to half of its initial value in 5 complete cycles with a period of 0.35 sec, determine the spring stiffness k and the viscous damping coefficient c. (20 marks)

[Given that total mass moment of inertia for the compound drum is 2.4 kg.m2, m = 5 kg, r1 = 200 mm and r2 = 400 mm.]
