A delicate 0.2 lb instrument is placed in a tray. To protect it during shipping it is attached to a spring as shown in the figure. Given the spring's experimentally obtained stiffness characteristics, shown below, what is the maximum velocity for the tray and instrument if the force on the delicate instrument is not to exceed 12 lbs. Assume the tray comes to an abrupt stop. The force can also be represented by the following interpolated polynomial function of x. FCx)= 3.135 -4.333x2 +5,33372-2.667 x4 +0.5333x5 F (16) 12 + 8 6 4 N Brin.)
