Q:I know nothing about cars but I have a Physics lab on the topic. I think it‘s quite clear that the question wants me to use Hooke‘s law to determine the spring constant of the suspension system; the problem is that I have no clue how to go about it. Any suggestions?

Kev, Without disassembling the car, the only practical way to test the stiffness is to apply a weight w at each corner (preferably right over the tire) and measure the downward deflection d. Then, at each location, k w/d and the total k for the whole car would be K 4w/(Σd) In this case the 'suspension system' includes the tires as well as the springs shock absorbers.

Q:I have a motorized bicycle kit-- which bike should I put it on?

Sell the motorized bike kit and exercise yourself by pedalling the bike !

Q:The shock absorbers in the suspension system of a car are in such bad shape that they have no effect on the behavior of the springs attached to the axles. Each of the identical springs attached to the front axle supports 320 kg. A person pushes down on the middle of the front end of the car and notices that it vibrates through five cycles in 3.0s. Find the spring constant of either spring. Can someone helpp me?

For the best answers, search on this site shorturl.im/awpim The weight of the 600 g mass is the force that stretches the spring - If it is hung vertically This weight mg (0.600)(9.81) _______ N This force kx {where k spring constant 24 N/m, and x spring stretch} x (0.600)(9.81)/24 __________ m ANS

Q:If there is can I have a link to it?

Don't get fancy with this. I have experienced some with metal caps that fuse to the stem after awhile and don't come off. Those cheapo plastic caps work the best.

Q:I have a 2000 s-10 Blazer and want to do suspension upgrades, will parts listed for the s-series pickup fit the Blazer as well? If not anyone know where to get upgrades for the Blazers?

Most parts will be interchangable but certain parts like the sway bar and such things will be different but can be swapped. But Yes, You shouldn't have all that much trouble with swapping I own a 1988 S-10 and it's suspension system is the practically the same as blazer. However the parts to a blazer will be designed to carry more of a weight for things like cornering with the blazer being more top heavy and all.rear end suspension probably the same though.It'a just the front might be a little off compared to blazer.

Q:i got a speeding ticket about a few months ago then the other day i got in a accident and got the ticket for tailgaiting (bad few months i know) Anways I‘m only 17 so would that be a suspended license or is that only if it‘s both speeding tickets? thanks guys

Look up modulator valve. Or try having your transmission serviced,it's relatively inexpensive.

Q:what bike should i get, experienced riders only!!!?

Hey mate, 2001 ey, how does that go? :p Seriously though, I've been riding for 3 years now, DH for 2 and racing for 2, so I know what i'm going on about ;) I'm currently riding a 08 Norco A-line, but am about to upgrade to a more race-ish DH frame is you get what I mean? Anyway, I would highly recommend an A-line, a Demo or Glory. My A-line eats up everything I throw at it having 9 of travel at the rear, but it's still super agile. I've done everything from race on it, to hit up 20ft step-downs, 30ft gaps and 10ft step-ups, to muck around and ride some trails n stuff, it loves it all. They're a great bike, for someone who's starting out or someone who's more experienced. I would recommend a Norco Team DH, but they're more of a race bike and if you're going to do alot of FR, it might not be right for you. Secondly, Demos are extremely versatile, the old ones are heavy but the new ones are good as, have a very nice suspension system and if set-up properly, are fast as bikes that can still handle some FR. Thirdly, Glorys. Yeah everybody has them, but they're a reason for that, because they're a quality bike. They don't jump or pedal the best, but are tank as will last for ages if you're constantly riding bike parks. I would recommend heaps more, but they're the ones I think are best for you given the description you've given

Q:Can I add a suspension fork on my old Giant ATX 960 ? If Yes do I have to change the brake system ?

Bull. You can add a suspension fork to any bike. As to whether you will need to change the brake system, it will depend on the fork you choose and the existing braking system. Riser bars change the steering. Bar ends change the steering. Aerobars change the steering. Drop bars over flat bars change the steering. What will change is the rake of the fork and the plane in which the handlebars follow. This could be a positive change rather than a negative one.

Q:The front is higher than the back How much does this cost to fix and what exactly is wrong with my car?

tire, front end shop will inspect and give estimate for free.

Q:im looking for stuff like difference in awd systems (if any), transmission, suspension setup, stuff like that, that isn‘t really common knowledge.

Other than cosmetics, the RS received the larger brakes and a 2.5 liter engine borrowed from the Legacy (other Imprezas have a 2.2 liter engine. The suspension was slightly tuned as well.
