15.6 Exercise 26

Avg difficulty 2.5

(a) The springs of a pickup truck act like a single spring with a force constant of 1.30×105N/m1.30 \times 10^{5} \text{N}/\text{m}. By how much will the truck be depressed by its maximum load of 1000 kg? (b) If the pickup truck has four identical springs, what is the force constant of each?
