Force Problems with Springs
1. Suppose that a spring balance used to weigh fish is built with a spring that stretches 1.00 cm when a 12.0 N
weight is placed in the pan.
a. When the 12.0 N weight is replaced with a 1.50 kg fish, what distance does the spring stretch?
(b,
If, instead of the fish, we place a 4.00 kg rock in the pan, how much does the spring stretch?
2. An unstretched spring is 11.00 cm long. When you hang an 825 g weight from it, it stretches to a length of
14.00 cm.
a. What is the force constant of this spring?
( b What total mass must you hang from the spring to stretch it to a total length of 18.00 cm?
3. A light spring having a force constant of 105 N/m is used to pull a 6.50 kg sled on a horizontal frictionless
ice rink. The sled has an acceleration of 2.30 m/s².
a. By how much does the spring stretch if it pulls on the sled horizontally
b. By how much does the spring stretch if it pulls on the sled at 37.0 oabove the horizontal?
4. Toy makers have always been interested in springs for the entertainment value
of the motion they produce. One well-known application shown in is a baby
bouncer, which consists of a harness seat for a toddler, attached to a spring.
The entire contraption hooks onto the top of a doorway. The idea is for the
baby to hang in the seat with his or her feet just touching the ground so that
good push up will get the baby bouncing, providing potentially hours of
entertainment.
