Forming a shock absorber, two springs of equal length are nested together. If the maximum compression of the springs is 0.25 and the outer spring has a stiffness of Ka = 420 N/m, what stiffness is required of the inner spring Kb? The design of the spring system is such that if a mass of 2.5 kg is at rest, then dropped from a distance of 0.75 m above the springs, the spring system will catch and stop the mass.
A motorcycle and rider have a combined mass of 350kg. The each wheel has a mass of 20kg with the diameter of 500 mm. The rider accelerates from 5m/s to 25m/s over a distance of 100m, whilst climbing a hill of slope 1 in 20.

Calculate the expected acceleration (Eq. 2) and the experimental acceleration (Eq. 3). This hanging mass will supply the unbalanced (net) force acting on the cart. The track is assumed to be frictionless, so the only force present is that from the hanging mass. m1 (hanging mass), m2 (cart).
