An engine is attached to a wagon through a shock absorber of length $1.5\, {m}$. The system with a total mass of $40,000\, {kg}$ is moving with a speed of $72\, {kmh}^{-1}$ when the brakes are applied to bring it to rest. In the process of the system being brought to rest, the spring of the shock absorber gets compressed by $1.0\, {m}$. If $90\, \%$ of energy of the wagon is lost due to friction, the spring constant is $....\, \times 10^{5}\, {N} / {m}$
