A spring mass damper system, having an undamped natural frequency of 100 Hz and a damping constant of 20 N-s/m, is used as an accelerometer to measure the vibration of a machine operating at a speed of 3000 rpm. If the actual acceleration is 10 m/s2 and the recorded acceleration is 9 m/s2, find the mass and the spring constant of accelerometer.
