Given information
Given data:
Mass of the car,
Mass of the driver,
Compression of the spring,
Formula used:
The stiffness of the spring is calculated as
Here,
is the weight of the driver
is the deflection in the spring
The frequency of oscillation of the spring is calculated as
Here,
is the stiffness of the spring
is the mass of the car
is the mass of the driver
Step-by-step explanation
Step 1.
The maximum distance traversed by the bob (from the mean position to one end) is defined as the amplitude of the simple harmonic motion (SHM) (a body that is following SHM). The amplitude of the SHM is used to determine the period of the SHM.
