3. In a room that is 2.44 m high, a spring (unstrained length = 0.30 m) hangs from the ceiling. A board whose length is 1.98 m is attached to the free end of the spring. The board hangs straight down, so that its 1.98-m length is perpendicular to the floor. The weight of the board (104 N) stretches the spring so that the lower end of the board just extends to, but does not touch, the floor. What is the spring constant of the spring?

A block of mass (m = 12 kg) is attached at its top to a string that goes up and loops over a pulley. The end of the string is then attached to a second block of mass (m = 16 kg) that hangs freely. The bottom of the 12 kg block is attached to a spring with spring constant (k = 120 N/m). This spring is then attached to the floor. a) What is the stretch in the spring from its relaxed position? 6) If the spring was detached from the 12 kg block, what would the acceleration of the two blocks be?
5. DETAILS A light spring obeys Hooke's law. The spring's unstretched length is 33.0 cm. One end of the spring is attached to the top of a doorframe and a weight with mass 7.00 kg is hung from the other end. The final length of the spring is 42.0 cm. (a) Find its spring constant (in N/m). N/m (b) The weight and the spring are taken down. Two people pull in opposite directions on the ends of the spring, each with a force of 160 N. Find the length (in m) of the spring in this situation. m (c) What If? What would be the length (in m) of the spring if it were now attached to the vertical portion of the doorframe and stretched horizontally by a single person exerting a force of 160 N? m Submit Answer DETAILS Let B = 4.70 m at 60.0°. C and A have equal magnitudes. The direction angle of C is larger than that of A by 25.0°. Let A B = 27.9 m² and B C = 35.1 m².

3. A simple pendulum is suspended from the ceiling by means of a string of length 1.60 m. Now you start with the pendulum at 16.6 degrees with respect to the vertical, but rather than releasing it from rest, you give it a push downward. It swings to the other side, and reaches a maximum angle of 55.4 degrees with respect to the vertical. What must have been the initial speed of the pendulum just after you pushed it? 4.78 m/s 3.50 m/s 3.68 m/s 1.14 m/s
An ideal spring, with a pointer attached to its end, hangs next to a scale. With a 100-N weight attached, the pointer indicates "40" on the scale as shown. Using a 200-N weight instead results in “60" on the scale. Using an unknown weight X instead results in "30" on the scale. The weight of X is: * ш 40 100 N 000
1. A heavy crate (m = 23 kg) is resting on a frictionless inclined plane while suspended from a wall by a spring. The plane is inclined at an angle of 30° from the horizontal, and the spring is stretched from its equilibrium position by 25 cm. What is the spring constant of the spring? If the frictionless inclined plane is now replaced with an otherwise identical plane except with a rough surface, the crate now stretches the spring by 12 cm from its equilibrium position. What is the coefficient of static friction? You can assume that the static friction is at its maximum value. 30°

1. A spring (k = 75 N/m) has an equilibrium length of 1.00 meter. The spring is compressed to a length of 0.50 m and a mass of 2.0 kg is placed at its free end on a frictionless slope which makes an angle of 41° with respect to the horizontal. The spring is then released. 0.50 m 0 = 41° (a) If the mass is not attached to the spring, how far up the slope will the mass move before coming to rest? (b) If the mass is attached to the spring, how far up the slope will the mass move before coming to rest? (c) Now the incline has a coefficient of kinetic friction uk. If the block, attached to the spring, is observed to stop as it reaches the spring's equilibrium position, what is µk?
9. A 7.9 kg object is suspended 10 m above the ground. Directly beneath it is a spring with a spring constant of 6500 N/m. Qualitatively describe what occurs to the energy of the system once the object is released? (Hint: Consider what occurs as the object falls, encounters the spring, and if it will go back up again!)
People who ride motorcycles and bicycles learn to look out for bumps in the road and especially for washboarding, a condition in which many equally spaced ridges are worn into the road. What is so bad about washboarding? A motorcycle has several springs and shock absorbers in its suspension, but you can model it as a single spring supporting a block. You can estimate the force constant by thinking about how far the spring compresses when a heavy rider sits on the seat. A motorcyclist traveling at highway speed must be particularly careful of washboard bumps that are a certain distance apart. What is the order of magnitude of their separation distance?
