A cafeteria tray dispenser supports a stack of trays on a shelf hangs from four identical spiral springs under tension, one near each corner of the shelf. Each tray is rectangular, 45.3 cm by 35.6cm, 0.450 cm thick, and with mass 580g. Demonstrate that the top tray in the stack can always be at the same height above the floor, however many trays are in the dispenser. Find the spring constant each spring should have for the dispenser to function in this convenient way. Is any piece of data unnecessary for this determination?
