Answer:
spring deflection is x = (v2 / R + g) m / 4
Explanation:
We will solve this problem with Newton's second law. Let's analyze the situation the car goes down a road and finds a dip (hollow) that we will assume that it has a circular shape in the lower part has the car weight, elastic force and a centripetal acceleration
Let's write the equations on the Y axis of this description
Fe - W = m
Where Fe is elastic force, W the weight and the centripetal acceleration. The elastic force equation is
Fe = - k x
4 (k x) - mg = m v² / R
The four is because there are four springs, R is theradio of dip
We can calculate the deflection (x) of the springs
x = (m v2 / R + mg) / 4
x = (v2 / R + g) m / 4
