Now imagine that you are a Haitian taptap driver and want a more comfortable ride. You decide to replace the springs with new springs that can handle the typical heavy load on your vehicle. What spring constant do you want your new spring system to have?
The new springs should have a spring constant that is (slighty larger, substantially larger, slightly smaller, substantially smaller) substantially larger slightly larger slightly smaller substantially smaller than the spring constant of the old springs.

Answer:

We use a spring of large spring constant.

Explanation:

The spring constant is defined as the force applied on the spring per unit extension or compression in length.

F = k x

where, F is the force, x is the extension, k is the spring constant.

Its unit is N/m.

To get the comfortable ride, we use the spring of large spring constant, so that the spring gets stiffer and we get comfort.
