Determine the effective spring constant of the suspension system of a car. Consider a load of 4 passengers, each with a mass of 70 kg. The car suspension system consists of four identical springs, each with a spring constant k. When all four people get into the car, the tires are depressed by about Δx = 2.0 cm.

The value of spring constant for each spring of the suspension system of a car   K = 343.35

Explanation:

Total force on the springs = weight of the four passengers

⇒ F = 4 × 70 × 9.81

⇒ F = 2746.8 N

In the suspension system of the car the four springs are connected in parallel. So Equivalent spring constant is given by,

⇒ = 4 K -------- ( 1 )

Depression in the spring Δx = 2 cm

Now the force  on the spring is given by

F = × Δx

⇒ =

⇒ = 1373.4

Now the spring constant for each spring =

⇒ K =

⇒ K = 343.35

This is the value of spring constant for each spring of the suspension system of a car.

russian is not my first language, so i'm afraid i can't write out an answer in russian, but hopefully you can find a way to do so. here's my best translation of the problem: you're given a plot of a particle's position in one-dimensional space over time, and you're asked to find either the total distance traveled by the particle after 6 seconds had elapsed, or the total displacement of the particle after 6 seconds.

if you want the total distance traveled, you would first need to determine the particle's velocity as a function of time, then integrate that over the 6-second interval. we know the position function is quadratic with roots at 0 and 6, so we have

where is unknown. because the position is parabolic, there is symmetry about the midpoint at , and we know that

so that the position function is

which means the velocity is

then the total distance traveled is

so the total distance traveled is 20 m.

on the other hand, if you want to find displacement: the particle starts at and ends at , so its displacement is 0.
