Question:
Real mechanical system may involve the deflection of nonlinear springs. In Figure P8.34, a mass m is released a distance h above a nonlinear spring. The resistance force F of the spring is given by
F = ? (k1d + k2d 3/2)
Conservation of energy can be used to show that

Solve for d, given the following parameter values: k1 = 50,000 g/s2, k2 = 40g/(s2?m0.5), m = 90 g, g = 9.81 m/s2, and h = 0.45 m.
