Homework Statement
A car with a mass of 1,500 kg sits on a suspension system that has four springs. When the mass of the car was originally placed on the springs, they compressed by 10 cm. What is the spring constant for each spring?
Homework Equations
k = F/x or k = mg/x
The Attempt at a Solution
k = (1500kg)(10) / .1m
= 150,000
keach spring = 150,000 / 4
= 37,500 n/m
Is this correct??
