Question:
A railway truck of mass 20 tonnes, moving at 6.5 km/h is brought to rest by a buffer stop. The buffer exerts a force of 22.5 kN initially and this force increases uniformly by 60 kN for each 1 m compression of the buffer. Neglecting any loss of energy at impact, find the maximum compression of the buffer and the time required for the truck to be brought to rest.
