Walker, Halliday & Resnick — Oscillations: Problem 12
12 The suspension system of a 2400 kg automobile “sags” 10 cm when the chassis is placed on it. Also, the oscillation amplitude decreases by 50% each cycle. Estimate the values of (a) the spring constant \(k\) and (b) the damping constant \(b\) for the spring and shock absorber system of one wheel, assuming each wheel supports 600 kg.
📝 Solution Approach
Given: 2400 kg, 10 cm, 600 kg
Find: (a) the spring constant \; (b) the damping constant \
