Two people with a combined mass of 129 kgkg hop into an old car with worn-out shock absorbers. This causes the springs to compress by 8.50 cmcm . When the car hits a bump in the road, it oscillates up and down with a period of 1.68 ss . Find the total load supported by the springs.

Step 1
The compression is given as 8.50 cm. To convert this to meters, we use the conversion factor \(1 \, \text{cm} = 0.01 \, \text{m}\). \[ 8.50 \, \text{cm} = 8.50 \times 0.01 \, \text{m} = 0.085 \, \text{m} \] Show more…

Two people with a combined mass of 125 $\mathrm{kg}$ hop into an old car with worn-out shock absorbers. This causes the springs to compress by 8.00 $\mathrm{cm} .$ When the car hits a bump in the road, it oscillates up and down with a period of 1.65 s. Find (a) the total load supported by the springs and (b) the mass of the car.
The shock absorbers in an old car with mass 1000 kg are completely worn out. When a 980 N person climbs slowly into the car at its center of gravity, the car sinks 2.8 cm. The car (with the person aboard) hits a bump, and the car starts oscillating up and down in SHM. Model the car and person as a single object on a single spring, and find the period and frequency of the oscillation.

A car has a spring system that supports the in-built mass of 1000 kg. When a person with a weight of 980 N sits at the center of gravity (Cof G), the spring system sinks by 2.8 cm. When the car hits a bump, it starts oscillating vertically. Find the period and frequency of oscillation.
