A bumper composed of three springs is to stop a 40Mg boxcar which is traveling at 1.2m/s as shown. One of the springs is 88mm shorter than the other two. The modulus of the shorter spring is 1.5MN/m while the modulus of the longer two springs is 1MN/m. Determine the maximum deflection of the bumper.
Expert Solution
Step 1
GIven data
Mass of box car = 40 Mg = 40*103 Kg
speed of the box car = 1.2 m/s
modulus of the longer springs = 1 MN/m
modulus of shorter spring = 1.5 MN/m
difference between the length of longer and shorter spring = 80 cm
To deteremine
The maximum deflection in the springs
