Homework Help: PHYSICS HELP!

Posted by CEO on Saturday, July 30, 2011 at 7:22pm.

A compact car has a mass of 1400kg. Assume that the car has one spring on each wheel, that the springs are identical, and that the mass is equally distributed over the four springs.

What is the spring constant of each spring if the empty car bounces up and down 1.9 times each second?

What will be the car's oscillation frequency while carrying four 68kg passengers?

Physics is soo not my subject, I've tried this problem three times and cant get it. Help?
