After spending the entire school year inside working hard at the university you decide to work outdoors in the summer so you take a job of picking fruit in an orchard.The farm provides you with a cart and a small tractor to haul the fruit from the orchard to the truck.the cart consistsof a simple box to carry the load and a single axle with two wheels.the axel is attached to the box using a leaf spring(k).While running this cart back and forth you have a few problems.the main problem is u have to drive over a curb and since u like to drive fast hitting this curb ends up bouncing half the fruit out of the cart.Cart masses 450kg fully loaded(with fruit).displacement of the spring is 5 cm between loaded and free length.You decide to model the cart as a planer model (ie u ignore the cart dynamics & collapse the two tyres & spring into one)& ignore the mass & dynamics of the cart tyres.
Propose a model for the system an write the charecteristic eqation for this model
