Spring rates
I see the folly of my thinking. Thanks for the physics, Shazaam. I realized thinking on it later, the wheel speed may be faster at some point in it's travel, but the energy is unchanged as the mass is reduced. Net effect is the same spring will bring it under control. and I like the way Seespotweld puts it. The spring is there to hold up the sprung weight. Thanks also Old Baldy for your observation. R
