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.
