Q. 14.21 (b) You are riding in an automobile of mass 3000kg\;. Assuming that you are examining the oscillation characteristics of its suspension system. The suspension sags 15\; cm when the entire automobile is placed on it. Also, the amplitude of oscillation decreases by 50^{o}/_{o} during one complete oscillation. Estimate the values of

(b) the damping constant b for the spring and shock absorber system of one wheel, assuming that each wheel supports750 \; kg..

The amplitude of oscillation decreases by 50 % in one oscillation i.e. in one time period.

\\T=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{m}{k}}\\ T=2\pi \times \sqrt{\frac{3000}{4\times 4.9\times 10^{4}}}\\ T=0.77\ s

For damping factor b we have

 

x=x_{0}e^{\left ( -\frac{bt}{2m} \right )}

x=x0/2

t=0.77s

m=750 kg

\\e^{-\frac{0.77b}{2\times 750}}=0.5\\ ln(e^{-\frac{0.77b}{2\times 750}})=ln0.5\\ \frac{0.77b}{1500}=ln2\\ b=\frac{0.693\times 1500}{0.77}\\ b=1350.2287\ kg\ s^{-1}
