it is rigidly attached to the base to that transmitted to the isolated object.
This ratio is an analogue of the ratio a/w in Eq. (2.39), which measures the
isolation effectiveness in terms of the ratio of the rattlespace allotted to the
object to the deceleration path of the base. For the case under consideration,
the rattlespace is defined by the expression corresponding to t > τ 1 on the
right-hand side of Eq. (2.54),

If the base and the object move with the same velocity V before the impact
