There are many forms of energy, but they can all be put into two categories: kinetic and potential. Kinetic energy is motion––of waves, electrons, atoms, molecules, substances, and objects. Potential energy is stored energy and the energy of position––gravitational energy

Mechanical advantage is the amount by which a machine multiplies input force. It is a measure of the force amplification using a tool or machine system.
Answer: The force constant k is 10600 kg/s^2
Step by step:
Use the law of energy conservation. When the elevator hits the spring, it has a certain kinetic and a potential energy. When the elevator reaches the point of still stand the kinetic and potential energies have been transformed to work performed by the elevator in the form of friction (brake clamp) and loading the spring.
Let us define the vertical height axis as having two points: h=2m at the point of elevator hitting the spring, and h=0m at the point of stopping.
The total energy at the point h=2m is:

The total energy at the point h=0m is:

The two Energy values are to be equal (by law of energy conservation), which allows us to determine the only unknown, namely the force constant k:

We make use of the equation: v^2=v0^2+2a Δd. We substitute v^2 equals to zero since the final state is halting the truck. Hence we get the equation -<span>v0^2/2a = Δd. F = m a from the second law of motion. Rearranging, a = F/m
</span>F = μ Fn where the force to stop the truck is the force perpendicular or normal force multiplied by the static coefficient of friction. We substitute, -v0^2/2<span>μ Fn/m</span> = Δd. This is equal to
