After driving a portion of the route, the taptap is fully loaded with a total of 27 people including the driver, with an average mass of 64 kg per person. In addition, there are three 15-kg goats, five 3-kg chickens, and a total of 25 kg of bananas on their way to the market. Assume that the springs have somehow not yet compressed to their maximum amount. How much are the springs compressed? Enter the compression numerically in meters using two significant figures.

In Haiti, public transportation is often by taptaps, small pickuptrucks with seats along the sides of the pickup bed and railings towhich passengers can hang on. Typically they carry two dozen ormore passengers plus an assortment of chickens, goats, luggage,etc. Putting this much into the back of a pickup truck puts quite alarge load on the truck springs.
A truck has springs for each wheel, but for simplicity assume thatthe individual springs can be treated as one spring with a springconstant that includes the effect of all the springs. Also forsimplicity, assume that all four springs compress equally whenweight is added to the truck and that the equilibrium length of thesprings is the length they have when they support the load of anempty truck.
