Homework Equations
The Attempt at a Solution
Right now I am overwhelmed with this project, I am not really sure where to start. Here is my thoughts on where to start.
The weight of the car will be 3702lbs. I think I need to find the kinetic energy of the automobile traveling at 5 mi/h. Now knowing the kinetic energy, would the next step be to decide upon the number of springs and their coefficient needed to stop the auto in 3" or slightly more?
Thank you in advance and sorry if this seems elementary. Dynamics related work doesn't come easy to me to say the least.
