QUESTION:
Problem 22P
A 110-kg box is loaded into the trunk of a car. If the height of the car’s bumper decreases by 13 cm, what is the force constant of its rear suspension?
ANSWER:
Step 1 of 2
A box of mass m is placed on the trunk of a car and the height of the rear bumper is declined 13 cm. We are going to find the force constant (k) of the rear suspension.
The mass of the load m = 110 kg
The acceleration due to gravity g = 9.81 m/s2
The displacement in the rear bumper x = 13 cm or 0.13 m
