Question

The shock absorbers in a car act as a
big spring. When a 92.5 kg person
gets in, the car sinks 0.0131 m. What
is the spring constant of the shocks?
(Unit = N/m)​

Answer 1

Answer:

6.92*10^4 N/m

Explanation:

F = kx

=> k = F/x and force F = weight = mg, so

k = mg/x

= (92.5*9.8)/0.0131

= 6.92*10^4 N/m
