In haiti, public transportation is often by taptaps, small pickup trucks with seats along the sides of the pickup bed and railings to which passengers can hang on. typically they carry two dozen or more passengers plus an assortment of chickens, goats, luggage, etc. putting this much into the back of a pickup truck puts quite a large load on the truck springs. a truck has springs for each wheel, but for simplicity assume that the individual springs can be treated as one spring with a spring constant that includes the effect of all the springs. also for simplicity, assume that all four springs compress equally when weight is added to the truck and that the equilibrium length of the springs is the length they have when they support the load of an empty truck. part aa 60-kg driver gets into an empty taptap to start the day's work. the springs compress 0.02 m. what is the effective spring constant of the spring system in the taptap? enter the spring constant numerically in newtons per meter. express your answer using two significant figures. k =2.9×10^4 n/mpart bafter driving a portion of the route, the taptap is fully loaded with a total of 25 people with an average mass of 60 kg per person. in addition, there are three 15 kg goats, five 3- kg chickens, and a total of 25 kg of bananas on their way to the market. assume that the springs have somehow not yet compressed to their maximum amount. how much are the springs compressed?

An engineer designs a roller coaster so that a car travels horizontally for 162 ft, then climbs 127 ft at an angle of 31.0° above the horizontal. it then moves 127 ft at an angle of 46.0° below the horizontal. if we take the initial horizontal motion of the car to be along the +x-axis, what is the car's displacement? (give the magnitude of your answer, in ft, to at least four significant figures and give the direction of your answer in degrees counterclockwise from the +x-axis.)

Acave rescue team lifts an injured spelunker directly upward and out of a sinkhole by means of a motor-driven cable. the lift is performed in three stages, each requiring a vertical distance of 10.0 m: (a) the initially stationary spelunker is accelerated to a speed of 4.90 m/s; (b) he is then lifted at the constant speed of 4.90 m/s; (c) finally he is decelerated to zero speed. how much work is done on the 68.0 kg rescue by the force lifting him during each stage?
