Assume that you are examining the characteristics of a suspension system of a 2000 kg automobile.The suspension "sags" 10 cm when the weight of the entire automobile is placed on it. In addition,the amplitude of the oscillation decreases by 50% during one complete oscillation. Estimate thevalues of k and for the spring and shock absorber system of each wheel. Assume each wheelsupports 500 kg.

You are to investigate the vibration properties of the shock absorber system of a 2000 kg car. The shock absorbers drop 10 cm when the car is lowered from the lift and stands on its wheels. In addition, the amplitude decreases by 50% with each oscillation.
