them. Determine the equivalent translational spring constant for this arrangement. (Hint: are the
two springs in series or in parallel?)

3.41 In the vehicle suspension system m= 200 kg, k=2500 N/m, and c= 500 N∙s/m. The spring is
compressed 0.1 m when the tire hits the bump, which gives a velocity of 0 1.2 m/s.
Assuming that the tire remains out of contact with the road, (a) determine the tire displacement
x(t) and (b) compute the maximum spring compression.
3.45 Find the time constants of the model 2 26 60 0. Estimate how long it will take
for the free response to disappear.

3.64 Obtain the equation of motion for the system. The equilibrium position corresponds to
x=y=0.
3.39 A 2.3 kg object is hung from a spring whose other end is attached to a rigid support. The
object oscillates with a frequency of 250 cycles per minute in air and 240 cycles per minute when
immersed in a liquid. Determine the spring constant k, the damping ratio ζ, and the damping
constant c when the object is immersed in the liquid.
