At the train station, you notice a large horizontal spring at the end of the track where the train comes in. this is a safety device to stop the train so that it will not plow through the station if the engineer misjudges the stopping distance. while waiting, you wonder what would be the fastest train that the spring could stop at its full compression which is l=3 ft . to keep the passengers safe when the train stops, you assume a maximum stopping acceleration of g/2. you also guess that a train weighs half a million lbs. for purpose of getting an estimate, you decide to assume that all frictional force are negligible. i've already posted this and someone gave me the wrong answer and i cannot for the life of me figure it out. the answer is not 7.66 m/s and should not be in meters, as the question gives everything else in feet.

Wo small variable-thrust jets are actuated to keep the spacecraft angular velocity about the z-axis constant at ? 0 = 1.16 rad/s as the two telescoping booms are extended from r1 = 1.18 m to r2 = 4.69 m at a constant rate over a period of 124 seconds. the small 19-kg experiment modules at the ends of the booms may be treated as particles, and the mass of the rigid booms is negligible. determine the necessary thrust t for each jet as a function of time where t = 0 is the time when the telescoping action is begun. after you have the general expression for t, answer the questions. show work.
