Question
A leaf spring can deflect 5mm at a load of 250 N.
The initial camber has its center's vertical position
relative to its ends at 160 mm. When the vehicle it
were attached in passes a speed bump and the
camber deflected to 140 mm. Determine the work
done on the spring by the speed bump in Joules.
Assuming the spring constant remains constant in all
those instances. ('
