Question:
A simplified SDOF model of a vehicle suspension system is shown in Figure P2.19. The mass of the vehicle is \(500 \mathrm{~kg}\). The suspension spring has a stiffness of \(100,000 \mathrm{~N} / \mathrm{m}\). The wheel is modeled as a spring placed in series with the suspension spring. When the vehicle is empty, its static deflection is measured as \(5 \mathrm{~cm}\).
(a) Determine the equivalent stiffness of the wheel
(b) Determine the equivalent stiffness of the spring combination.
