Assume that you are examining the characteristics of a suspension system of a 2000 kg automobile.The suspension "sags" 10 cm when the weight of the entire automobile is placed on it. In addition,the amplitude of the oscillation decreases by 50% during one complete oscillation. Estimate thevalues of k and for the spring and shock absorber system of each wheel. Assume each wheelsupports 500 kg.

For the solution refer below images.
