The four wheels of a car are connected to the car's body by spring assemblies that let the wheels move up and down over bumps an

d dips in the road. When a 68 kg (about 150 lb) person sits on the left front fender of a small car, this corner of the car dips by about 1.2 cm (about 12 in). If we treat the spring assembly as a single spring, what is the approximate spring constant?

Answer:k=55.590 KN/m

Explanation:

Given

mass of person\left ( m\right )=68 kg

car dips about 1.2 cm

We know

F=kx

Where k=combined  spring constant

mg=kx

k=\frac{mg}{x}

k=\frac{68\times 9.81}{1.2\time 10^{-2}}

k=55.590 KN/m

Zepler [3.9K]

Answer:

The angular magnification is M = 2.808

Explanation:

From the question we are told

           The focal length is  f = 8.9cm

          The near point is n_p = 25.0cm

The angular magnification is mathematically represented as

                          M = \frac{n_p}{f}

Substituting values

                        M = \frac{25}{8.9}

                           = 2.808
