Question
You have been hired to design a spring-launched
roller coaster that will carry two passengers per car.
The car goes up a 10-m-high hill, then descends
17 m to the track's lowest point. You've determined
that the spring can be compressed a maximum of
2.5 m and that a loaded car will have a maximum
mass of 400 kg. For safety reasons, the spring
constant should be 13% larger than the minimum
needed for the car to just make it over the top.
