Apiece of electronic equipment that is surrounded by packing material is dropped so that it hits the ground with a speed of 8.5 m/s. after contact, the equipment experiences an acceleration of a = –kx, where k is a constant and x is the compression of the packing material. if the packing material experiences a maximum compression of 110 mm, at which point the box comes to a complete stop, determine the maximum acceleration of the equipment.

The maximum acceleration of the equipment is -656.81 m/s^2

Explanation:

Data

velocity when compression starts,

velocity when compression ends,

position when compression starts,

position when compression ends,

From aceleration definition

From the problem

Combining them and integrating

Finally, maximum acceleration is

oil flow is a highly convective flow compared to water flow at normal temperature and pressure.

answer:

my guess it 8 i'm probably wrong
