Suppose that you are designing a new shock absorber for an automobile. The car has a mass of 500 kg (kilograms) and the combined effect of the springs in the suspension system is that of a spring constant of 2000 N/m (i. e.each of the four springs has a spring constant of 500 N/m). Required:
a. Before a damping mechanism is installed in the car, when the car hits a bump it will bounce up and down. How may bounces will a rider experience in the minute right after the car hits a bump?
b. Your job is to design a damping mechanism which eliminates oscillations when the car hits a bump. What is the minimum value of the effective damping constant that can be used?
