A bumper, consisting of a nest of three springs, is used to arrest the horizontal motion of a large mass which is traveling at 62 ft/sec as it contacts the bumper. The two outer springs cause a deceleration proportional to the spring deformation. The center spring increases the deceleration rate when the compression exceeds 8 in. as shown on the graph. Determine the maximum compression x of the outer springs. Deceleration ft/sec 6000 4000 2000 x, in. 16 8 62 ft/sec Mececle

X Incorrect The 14.9-in.spring is compressed to a 7.6-in. length, where it is released from rest and accelerates the sliding block A. The acceleration has an initial value of 440 ft/sec² and then decreases linearly with the x-movement of the block, reaching zero when the spring regains its original 14.9-in. length.
