Problem-
A 110-kg box is loaded into the trunck of a car. If the higher of the car's bumber decreases by 13cm, what is the force constant of its rear suspension?
answer-
i know the formula is Fx= -k(x)
since Fx= 110 x 9.81
(110 x 9.81)/.13 =kN/m
i get = 8300.77
but the answer in the back of the book is 8.3kn/M
am i doing something wrong? please help
