The discussion centers on determining the spring constant required to move a mass of 110 kg at a velocity of 14 m/s. Participants emphasize the need for a clear problem statement and a diagram to understand the configuration of the spring system. The conversation highlights the importance of self-analysis in problem-solving and the necessity of providing complete information for effective assistance.
PREREQUISITESEngineers, physics students, and hobbyists interested in mechanical design and spring dynamics will benefit from this discussion.
This is an incompete problem statement. It is not clear what configuration you are talking about. You need to draw a diagram. Also, you should make some attempt to figure it out on your own. We don't spoon feed answers.Ahmadd said:
As @phinds says, you are making us guess at a lot of things trying to help you. So you are wanting to compress a spring to shoot a 110kg mass out at a speed of 14m/s when released? Are these going to be big animals or humans...?Ahmadd said:
