1. Suppose you are riding your bicycle on a bumpy road having a surface profile that varies harmonically with +/- 6 cm undulations. The distance between consecutive peaks of these undulations is 2 m. When you sit on the seat of your bike for your casual ride, the springs deflect 5 cm. When you are seated, the damper under the seat provides an equivalent linear viscous damping of 10% of the critical damping. A simple representation of your ride on the "never-ending" rough road is shown below. (a) If you are riding your bicycle at a horizontal speed of 2.5 m/sec, how much bumping up and down will you experience? (b) Next day, you are carrying a backpack which increases your on-seat weight by 20%. Assuming that you are still able to ride with same speed, will this "loaded" ride be more or less comfortable than your previous, "no backpack" ride? M k/23 k/2 6 cm 2 m

Question

Transcribed Image Text:1. Suppose you are riding your bicycle on a bumpy road having a surface profile that varies
harmonically with +/- 6 cm undulations. The distance between consecutive peaks of these
undulations is 2 m. When you sit on the seat of your bike for your casual ride, the springs
deflect 5 cm. When you are seated, the damper under the seat provides an equivalent
linear viscous damping of 10% of the critical damping. A simple representation of your
ride on the "never-ending" rough road is shown below.
(a) If you are riding your bicycle at a horizontal speed of 2.5 m/sec, how much bumping
up and down will you experience?
(b) Next day, you are carrying a backpack which increases your on-seat weight by 20%.
Assuming that you are still able to ride with same speed, will this "loaded" ride be
more or less comfortable than your previous, "no backpack" ride?
