Question:

Mastering physics question on spring constant? help needed.?

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 is depressed by about Δx 2.0 cm.

Answer:

yea and i heard it was getting bigger too. depends on the kind of damage. gulf coasts will get hit the most. i live in houston and the most i can think is just a lot of wind and rain and little debree.
It's a bit smaller than Texas. Earlier it was taking over the whole gulf. The eye is huge though. When the eye hits, it will be hitting multiple areas at the same time because it's so wide
Four tires, four passengers, that cancels -- the force exerted by one passenger on one tire is (70 kg)*(9.8 m/s^2) 686 N, and k (686 N)/(0.02 m) 34300 N/m or 34.3 kN/m
