3. The nest of two springs is used to bring the 0.5 kg
plunger A to a stop from a speed of 5 m/s and reverse its
direction of motion. The inner spring increases the
deceleration and the adjustment of its position is used to
control the exact point at which the reversal takes place. If
this point is to correspond to a maximum deflection d = 200
mm for the outer spring, specify the adjustment of the
inner spring by determining the distance s. The outer spring
has a stiffness of 300 N/m and the inner one a stiffness of
150 N/m.
PROBLEMS

a maximum of 100 mm. The spring is known as a
“hardening” spring, since its stiffness increases with
deflection as shown in the accompanying graph.
