Question
An automobile manufacturer is testing the suspension system of their latest car model. They load the car, which has a mass of 1,110 kg, with four test dummies,
each with a mass of 71.9 kg. The car is placed onto a horizontal platform which can oscillate vertically with an adjustable frequency. The engineers find that when
the platform's frequency is set to 1.70 Hz, the car's suspension vibrates at its maximum amplitude. The platform oscillation is then turned off. As four test
dummies are removed from the car, the car's body will rise by what distance (in cm)?
14.7
If the car is in resonance, how does the driving frequency compare with the natural frequency? How is the natural frequency related to the spring constant?
Knowing the spring constant, can you find the compression of the car's suspension when it is loaded with the four dummies? When it is unloaded? cm
