Homework Statement
The distance between the centers of the wheels of a motorcycle is 155 cm. The center of mass of the motorcycle, including the biker, is 88.0 cm above the ground and halfway between the wheels. Assume the mass of each wheel is small compared with the body of the motorcycle...
Lets say you have a spring with unknown constant k. You try to calculate the value of this constant by hanging a known mass m from the spring. The spring stretches until the force of the spring equals the weight of the mass. Thus, kx = mg, and k = mg/x . However, if you try to calculate this...
