Question:
People with mobility impairments can gain great health and social benefits from participating in different recreational activities. You are tasked with designing an adaptive spring-powered shuffleboard attachment that can be utilized by people who use wheelchairs. Knowing that the coefficient of kinetic friction between the 15 ounce puck A and the wooden surface is 0.3, the maximum spring displacement you desire is 6 inches, and that you want the puck to travel at least 30 ft/s,
Determine
(a) The spring constant k,
(b) How far the athlete should pull back the spring to make the puck come to rest after 34 ft.
