Halliday, Resnick & Walker — Oscillations: Problem Problem_60

The suspension system of a 2000 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 500 kg.

📝 Solution Approach

Given: 2000 kg, 10 cm, 500 kg

Find: (a) the spring constant k and; (b) the damping constant b for the spring and shock absorber sys
