How to specify the number of plates that can be stored

Reference no: EM13305037

A plate storage system for a self-serve salad bar in a restaurant. As plates are added to or withdrawn from the stack, the spring force and stiffness are such that the plates always protrude above the tabletop by about 60 mm. If each plate has 0.509 kg mass, and if the support A also has 0.509 kg mass, determine the stiffness k and unstretched length L0 of the spring. Assume the spring can be compressed by a maximum of 40% of its initial unstretched length before its coils begin to touch. Also specify the number of plates that can be stored. Assume the system has guides or other mechanisms so the support A is always horizontal.
