Natural frequency of a cantilevered beam with weight attached. 6

[electricpete]

Since there is no response to thread384-95346 , I would like to re-ask my question in a simpler form:

We have a cantilvered steel beam of length L with weight W2 at distance "a" from the cantilevered end.

What is the resonant frequency?

that is okay as long as you are only focusing on the cantilever tip

Tom:
That's anice simple expression for the mass at the end of the beam, but is the ".2235" constant in any wise dependent on whether one is using inches, centimeters, meters, pounds, kg, etc.?

Thanks,

Don't think so, dimensional analysis tells you it is non-dimensional
