Concept explainers
Designing a suspension system A spring in a suspension system supports a load of 400 kg and has a spring constant k = 324 N/m. The damping constant c in the system can be varied by embedding the spring in a piston filled with fluid.
a. Find the value of the damping constant c that gives the system critical damping.
b. Solve the resulting
c. Graph the solution in part (b). What is the maximum displacement of the load according to this model?
d. Determine the effect of increasing the damping constant to
