In vibration isolation system, if ω/ωn < 2, then for all values of damping factor, the transmissibility will be

(a) less than unity

(b) equal to unity

(c) greater than unity

(d) zero

I have been asked this question in an online interview.

My question is taken from Types of Vibratory Motion and Natural Frequency of Free Longitudinal Vibrations in division Longitudinal and Transverse Vibrations of Machine Dynamics

The correct answer is (c) greater than unity

To explain: For underdamped systems the maximum amplitude of excitation has a definite value and it occurs at a frequency ω/ωn1.  For damping factor, the transmissibility will be greater than unity.
