Chapter 14, Problem 20P
The crash cushion for a highway barrier consists of a nest of barrels filled with an impact-absorbing material. The barrier stopping force is measured versus the vehicle penetration into the barrier. Determine the distance a car having a weight of 4000 lb will penetrate the barrier if it is originally traveling at 55 ft/s when it strikes the first barrel.

A block with a weight of 5 kg hanging from the ceiling attached to a spring is raised and then
pulled downward. As it passes downward through the spring's unstretched position it has a speed
of 10 m/s downward. If the spring has a stiffness of 5 N/m, determine the maximum position below
the spring's unstretched position achieved by the block.
