The suspension system of a 2200 kg automobile "sags" 13 cm when the chassis is placed on it. Also, the oscillation amplitude decreases by 40% each cycle. Estimate the values of (a) the spring constant k and (b) the damping constant b for the spring and shock absorber system of one wheel, assuming each wheel supports 550 kg.

a and b please, will give thumbs up!

You are designing a suspension system for a 1000 kg automobile whose acceleration can be described by the following equation: a( ?x, x) = ?(c/m) ?x?(k/m)x (m/s2 ) where c is the damping constant for the shock absorber and k is the spring constant. The initial conditions are: v(0) = 0 and x(0) = 0.01 m. k = 400 kN/m. Note: You will want to use The Runge-Kutta Method to numerically solve the equation. You can use the functions provided...

One example of simple harmonic motion is a block attached to a spring, pulled to one side, then released, so it slides back and forth over and over. In real experiments, friction and drag can't be eliminated, so both will do a small amount of negative work on the sliding mass, each cycle, slowly reducing its ME, until the block stops moving altogether. a) As the system's ME decreases, the block's maximum speed gets smaller, but the oscillation period T...
