You sit in your SUV in a traffic jam. Out of boredom, you rock your body from side to side and then sit still. You notice that your SUV continues rocking for about 2 s and makes three side-to-side oscillations, before subsiding. You estimate that the amplitude of the SUV’s motion must be less than 5% of the amplitude of your initial rocking. Knowing that your SUV has a mass of 2200 kg (including the gas, your stuff, and yourself), what can you say about the effective spring constant and damping of your SUV’s suspension?
