When a 40-kg machine is placed on an elastic foundation, its free vibrations appear to decay exponentially with a frequency of 91.7 rad/s. When a 60-kg machine is placed on the same foundation, the frequency of the exponentially decaying oscillations is 75.5 rad/s. Determine the equivalent stiffness and equivalent viscous damping coefficient for the foundation.
