Suspended elements should not impart a peak acceleration in excess of __g.

80g
90g
100g
110g

The correct answer is: 100g

The peak acceleration is the maximum rate of change in velocity during an impact or shock. In this context, it is important to consider the safety and comfort of passengers. An acceleration of 100g means an object is experiencing 100 times the normal force of gravity, which would be extremely uncomfortable and potentially harmful for passengers. Options A, B, and D are all higher than 100g and would impose even greater forces on suspended elements. Therefore, they are incorrect. Option C, with a limit of 100g, would provide a more comfortable and safer experience for passengers.
