Question 2 (25 marks) a) A vehicle circulates on a road as shown in Figure Q2a. The road profile can be modelled as the input u(t). The vehicle is modelled as a quarter car of mass m, and the suspension has a spring stiffness coefficient k-2 Nm and a damper of coefficient c 2 Nm's. Find the position of the mass, ylt) and any time rif the road profile is a unit step.

The shaft bearings may be modelled as viscous rotary dampers with a damping coefficient of Br= 0.4 N-m-s/rad and stiffness coefficient Ka= 2 Nm' of the flywheel is at rest at t = 0 and the power is suddenly applied to the motor, do the following (Hint: J = mrº/2]: (i) Find the natural frequency of oscillation of the disk expressed in Hz.
