Question

An air spring is used to protect a support and prevent damage to a tensioning weight in the event of a belt failure. The force developed by the air spring as a function of its deflection is linear: $F$ increases from $0\text{ N}$ at $s = 0\text{ m}$ to $1500\text{ N}$ at $s = 0.2\text{ m}$. A block of mass $m = 20\text{ kg}$ is suspended a height $d = 0.4\text{ m}$ above the top of the undeformed spring. Determine the maximum deformation $s_{\max}$ of the spring when the belt fails. Neglect the mass of the pulley a…
