Mass on a Spring: A 92-kg man climbs into a car with worn out shock absorbers, and this causes the car to drop down 4.5 cm. As he drives along he hits a bump, which starts the car oscillating at an angular frequency of 4.52 rad/s. What is the mass of the car?

A. 890 kg
B. 760 kg
C. 920 kg
D. 990 kg
E. 1900 kg
