A compact car has a mass of 1310 kg . Assume that the car has one spring on each wheel, that the springs are identical, and that the mass is equally distributed over the four springs. Required:
a. What is the spring constant of each spring if the empty car bounces up and down 2.0 times each second?
b. What will be the car’s oscillation frequency while carrying four 70 kg passengers?

a) k= 3232.30 N / m,  b)  f = 4,410 Hz

Explanation:

In this exercise, the car + spring system is oscillating in the form of a simple harmonic motion, as the four springs are in parallel, the force is the sum of the 4 Hocke forces.

The expression for the angular velocity is

          w = √k/m

the angular velocity is related to the period

          w = 2π / T

we substitute

          T = 2  √m/ k

a) empty car

           k = 4π² m / T²

           k = 4 π² 1310/2 2

           k = 12929.18 N / m

This is the equivalent constant of the short springs

           F1 + F2 + F3 + F4 = k_eq x

           k x + kx + kx + kx = k_eq x

           k_eq = 4 k

           k = k_eq / 4

           k = 12 929.18 / 4

            k= 3232.30 N / m

b) the frequency of oscillation when carrying four passengers.

In this case the plus is the mass of the vehicle plus the masses of the passengers

            m_total = 1360 + 4 70

            m_total = 1640 kg

angular velocity and frequency are related

              w = 2pi f

we substitute

             2 pi f = Ra K / m

in this case the spring constant changes us

             k_eq = 12929.18 N / m

             f = 1 / 2π √ 12929.18 / 1640

             f = π / 2 2.80778

             f = 4,410 Hz
