Description: A barrel barrier is placed in front of a bridge pier. The force–deflection relation of the barrier is $F = 90 \times 10^3 \, x^{1/2}$ lb, where $x$ is in ft. A car weighing 4000 lb is traveling at 75 ft/s just before it hits the barrier. Determine the car's maximum penetration into the barrier.
