An engineer is designing a spring to be placed at the bottom of an elevator shaft. If the elevator cable should happen to break when the elevator is at a height h above the top of the spring, calculate the value that the spring constant k should have so that passangers undergo an acceleration of no more than 3.0 g when brought to rest. Let M be the total mass of the elevator and passengers.
