- Determine a natural frequency of vibration as a function of k₁, k₂. g and W of a spring-mass system placed on a inclined plane as shown in the figure:arrow_forwardAn automobile manufacturer is testing the suspension system of their latest car model. They load the car, which has a mass of 1,160 kg, with four test dummies, each with a mass of 73.7 kg. The car is placed onto a horizontal platform which can ocillate vertically with an adjustable frequency. The engineers find that when the platform's frequency is set to 1.50 Hz, the car's suspension vibrates at its maximum amplitude. The platform oscillation is then turned off. As four test dummies are removed from the car, the car's body will rise by what distance (in cm)? cmarrow_forwardA 2-kg block is suspended from a spring having a stiffness of 800 N/m.
