Determine the modulus of the spring. Each wheel weighs 322 lb and is 3 ft in diameter.
5.11A truck body weighing 4000 lb is carried by four solid disk wheels that roll on the sloping surface. (See Figure P5.11.) Each wheel weighs 322 lb and is 3 ft in diameter. The truck has a velocity of 5 ft/sec in the position shown. Determine the modulus of the spring if the truck is brought to rest by compressing the spring 6 in.
