Question

Part A: Four identical springs support equally the weight of a 1150 kg car. If a 90 kg driver gets in, the car drops 6.8mm  What is k for each spring? Part B: The car driver goes over a speed bump, causing a small vertical oscillation. Find the oscillation period, assuming the springs aren't damped. Express your answer with the appropriate units.

Explanation / Answer

A) 4*k*x=90g


==> K = 90*9.8/(4*0.0068) = 32426.47 N/m


B) T= 2*pisqrt(4K/(m1+m2))=2*pi*sqrt(4*32426.47/1240)= 64.25 sec
