Meriam, Kraige & Bolton β Kinetics of Particles: Problem 3_24
3/24 The device shown is used as an accelerometer and consists of a 4-oz plunger A which deflects the spring as the housing of the unit is given an upward acceleration $a$. Specify the necessary spring stiffness $k$ which will permit the plunger to deflect $1/4$ in. beyond the equilibrium position and touch the electrical contact when the steadily but slowly increasing upward acceleration reaches $5g$. Friction may be neglected.
