- Problem 2: Special sections of roadway are sometimes paved with “rumble strips” to alert inattentive drivers. In a particular case the grooves are spaced L = 0.26 m apart and the depth of each groove is d = 0.35 cm. As you drive over this rumble strip, the tires of your car oscillate about their equilibrium positions with a frequency of f = 68.6Hz. Refer to the figure, which is not drawn to scale. Part (b) Find the vertical position of the tire, in centimeters, at the time t = 1.85 s.
