Solved: For protection, the barrel barrier is placed in
Chapter 14, Problem 14-2(choose chapter or problem)
For protection, the barrel barrier is placed in front of the bridge pier. If the relation between the force and deflection of the barrier is \(F = (90(10^{3})x^{1/2}) \ lb\), where x is in ft, determine the car’s maximum penetration in the barrier. The car has a weight of 4000 lb and it is traveling with a speed of 75 ft/s just before it hits the barrier.
