According to the graph, the voltage amplitude is .002 Volts.
Therefore, the following applies for the acceleration amplitude.

To determine the frequency of the acceleration, I assumed exactly 3 periods
between 0 seconds and .025 seconds. Therefore, the follow applies.

Part B
Becuase the frequency and mass are so high, it is recommended that to
isolate and reduce the vibrations, a vibration isolation pad be used. I will use
a Fabreeka M1393-P1 for my solution. http://www.fabreeka.com/documents/

While this is overkill, it is acceptable.

However, more economical studies may be
required as an r of over 9 may be expensive.

Approximately 1.1% of the force is transmitted.

Information obtained from Graph #2
Just before .2 seconds the displacement is 0 and just after .4 seconds the
displacement is also 0. This change in time is over a distance of 2 Pi or 1
period.

Now I must approximate a region of graph #2 to find the damping ratio. I will
use from time t=0 to t=.5. This reduction in amplitude is about .52.

Therefore, approximately

R 100 - TR = 76.163
Thus a reduction in 76.2%
of the transmitted force.
