Homework Statement
This is an attempt to solve a problem I asked about here https://www.physicsforums.com/threads/can-a-car-ever-sit-like-this.929453/
Homework Equations
F = kx spring force
The Attempt at a Solution
using the largest angle down it can get with the front spring compressed all the way.
distance from the center of gravity to the front wheels / distance between the wheels = weight on the front wheels
convert from kg to n and divide by 2 wheels = minimum spring force to keep this from happening
but if the spring force is strong enough to push it up at the farthest angle down, will it be stronger than the weight the entire way back? As the spring gets longer the force will decrease and as the body rotates back the weight on the front wheels will also decrease.
