Question 1 A 125 kg electric motor and a 505 kg reciprocating compressor are mounted on a common support. The motor runs at 2402 revolutions/minute (rpm) and by a belt drives the compressor at 3600 rpm. It is found that the vertical force fed to the support is excessive. Choose four equal springs to provide a force transmissibility not exceeding 4%.
