A 4500 lb SUV is traveling at 65 mph when it strikes a staged attenuator designed to produce three different energy dissipation rates. For the first 6 ft, the attenuator produces a force of 20,000 lb on the impacting vehicle. The second stage is 4 ft long and produces a deceleration force of 40,000 lb. “How long does the attenuator’s 3rd stage have to be to safely stop the SUV if its deceleration force is 60,000 lb.
