Answer:
<h2>187,500N/m</h2>Explanation:
From the question, the kinectic energy of the train will be equal to the energy stored in the spring.
Kinetic energy = 1/2 mv² and energy stored in a spring E = 1/2 ke².
Equating both we will have;
1/2 mv² = 1/2ke²
mv² = ke²
m is the mass of the train
v is the velocity of then train
k is the spring constant
e is the extension caused by the spring.
Given m = 30000kg, v = 4 m/s, e = 4 - 2.4 = 1.6m
Substituting this values into the formula will give;
30000*4² = k*1.6²
The value of the spring constant is 187,500N/m
