Homework Statement
A guy is 60 kg and he gets in a car which is 500 kg. the center gravity of the car is 0.3 cm lower, find the spring constant of the suspension
Homework Equations
F = -kx
F = mg
The Attempt at a Solution
I got the answer but it s very low valve, the springs of the car should be high, don't they?
here 's my equation
There are 2 forces acting on the car, Weight and Restoring Force of springs then
mg = -kx
( 560 kg )( -9.8 m/s2 ) = - (k) ( 0.3x10-2 m )
