Question

After driving a portion of the route, the taptap is fully loaded with a total of 25 people including the driver, with an average mass of 70kg per person. In addition, there are three 15-kg goats, five 3-kg chickens, and a total of 25 kg of bananas on their way to the market. Assume that the springs have somehow not yet compressed to their maximum amount. How much are the springs compressed? Enter the compression numerically in meters using two significant figures. x =   m   After driving a portion of the route, the taptap is fully loaded with a total of 25 people including the driver, with an average mass of 70kg per person.

Explanation / Answer

Total weight on the taptap :

(25 * 70) + (3 * 15) + (5 * 3) + 25 = 1835 kg

Gravitational force on the taptap:

m * g = Fg

Fg = 1835 kg * 9,8 N/kg

Fg = 17983 N

F = kx

17983 = 36 000 * x

x = 0.4995 m

= 0.50 m
