In a cars suspension system, each wheel is connected to a vertical spring; these springs absorb shocks

Question:

In a car’s suspension system, each wheel is connected to a vertical spring; these springs absorb shocks when the car travels on bumpy roads. In one car, each spring has a spring constant of 5.0 × 104 N/m. If this 1400 kg car is driven at 25 m/s through the bottom of a circular dip in the road that has a radius of 600 m, by how much do these springs compress compared to when the car is driven on a flat road?
