Truck suspensions often havehelper springsthat engage at


Question: Truck suspensions often have"helper springs"that engage at high loads.one such arrangement is a leaf spring with a helper coil spring mounted on the axle. When the main leaf spring is compressed by distance,yo,the helper spring engages and then helps to support any additional load. Suppose the leaf spring constant is 5.25×105 N/m,the helper spring constant is 3.6×105 N/m and yo=0.500m. (A) what is the compression of the leaf spring for a load of 5.00×105 N?
