The answer is:
B. <span>X: Work is done to the system and temperature increases.
Y: Work is done by the system and temperature decreases.</span>
Answer:
If there is no damping, the amount of transmitted vibration that the microscope experienced is = 
Explanation:
The motion of the ceiling is y = Y sinωt
y = 0.05 sin (2 π × 2) t
y = 0.05 sin 4 π t
K = 25 lb/ft × 4 sorings
K = 100 lb/ft
Amplitude of the microscope ![\frac{X}{Y}= [\frac{1+2 \epsilon (\omega/ W_n)^2}{(1-(\frac{\omega}{W_n})^2)^2+(2 \epsilon \frac{\omega}{W_n})^2}]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cfrac%7BX%7D%7BY%7D%3D%20%5B%5Cfrac%7B1%2B2%20%5Cepsilon%20%28%5Comega%2F%20W_n%29%5E2%7D%7B%281-%28%5Cfrac%7B%5Comega%7D%7BW_n%7D%29%5E2%29%5E2%2B%282%20%5Cepsilon%20%20%5Cfrac%7B%5Comega%7D%7BW_n%7D%29%5E2%7D%5D)
where;


= 
= 4.0124
replacing them into the above equation and making X the subject of the formula:



Therefore; If there is no damping, the amount of transmitted vibration that the microscope experienced is = 
The weight of the meterstick is:

and this weight is applied at the center of mass of the meterstick, so at x=0.50 m, therefore at a distance

from the pivot.
The torque generated by the weight of the meterstick around the pivot is:

To keep the system in equilibrium, the mass of 0.50 kg must generate an equal torque with opposite direction of rotation, so it must be located at a distance d2 somewhere between x=0 and x=0.40 m. The magnitude of the torque should be the same, 0.20 Nm, and so we have:

from which we find the value of d2:

So, the mass should be put at x=-0.04 m from the pivot, therefore at the x=36 cm mark.
