Is this what you mean? 50,000 = 1/2 K X ^2 100,000 = K

Thank you Denverdoc. Is this what you mean? MGH= 50,000N* -1 = -50,000N SPE = 1/2Kx2 = 1/2 K (1) -50,000 + 1/2 K (1) = 60,000 N (??) 1/2 K = 110,000 K= 220,000

[b] an elevator car weighing 50,000 N is 27m from the ground. the cable snaps and the elevator goes into free fall. Shock absorbers have been provided, the coil length is 1 m. Assume elevator is able to lock onto the shaft at the point of contact w/ the absorber so that it does not bounce...
