A small trailer and its load have a total mass of 250-kg. The trailer is supported by two springs, each of constant 10 kN/m, and is pulled over a road, the surface of which can be approximated by a sine curve with an amplitude of 40 mm and a wavelength of 5 m (i.e., the distance between successive crests is 5 m and the vertical distance from crest to trough is 80 mm). Determine
(a) the speed at which resonance will occur,
(b) the amplitude of the vibration of the trailer at a speed of 50 km/h.
