Question

The suspension (four springs) of a mass 2,958 kg car sags a distance of 27.6cm when the entire weight of the car is placed on it The effective amplitude decays to 55.5% of its initial value in 3 oscillations (exact). What is the value of the damping constant b of one of the springs (in kg/s)? (If necessary use g=9.85m/s2)

Answer 1

would a value b = 1221.18 make any sense for this question?

Answer 2

i solved it, the answer is 276
