A fraternity brother finds an old bungee cord at a garage sale and is contemplating on having a bungee jump event. He measures the spring constant of the cord (assume it is a linear spring) by applying a 500 N force to it and measuring a stretch of 2.5 m. Your job is to help him estimate how tall the jump tower should be. He knows the cord is L = 40 m long, he expects the cord to stretch d for an average 60 kg guy like himself, and at maximum stretch he wants his feet to still be 10 m above the ground. Determine: a. The maximum distance, d, the cord would stretch if a 60 kg brother jumped from tower height, H. b. The force developed in the cord at his max stretch position. c. Calculate the expected tower height. d. The velocity of the brother 40 m below from the topmost level of the tower. TITI
A block of mass m=1kg is sliding on a rough surface with a speed vi=10 m/s when it strikes a massless spring head on and compresses the spring a maximum distance x=10cm. If the spring has force constant k=60 N/m determine the coefficient of kinetic friction between block and surface
b) Suppose the maximum tension this tendon can support without rupturing is 138 N. How tendons obey Hooke's Law. In laboratory tests on a particular tendon, it was found that, when Tendons are strong, elastic fibers that attach muscle to bone. To a reasonable approximation, much can the tendon stretch without exceeding its elastic limit? a 250 gram object was hung from it, a tendon stretched 1.23 cm. How much energy is stored in the tendon at this point? a) Find the spring constant of this tendon in N/m- c)
A uniform steel wire of length 3 m and area of cross section 2 mm² is extended through 3 mm. Calculate the energy stored in the wire, if the elastic limit is not exceeded. (Ysteel = 20 x 1010 N/m²).

A spring loaded cannon is located 65.0 m on a cliff, looking over the water. A 25 kg shell is loaded such that the spring is compressed 3.00 m. If the spring constant in the cannon is 1250 N/m and ignoring all effects due to friction, calculate: a. The speed of the shell as it hits the water – fired horizontally; and b. The speed of the shell if as it hits the water – fired at 45.0° upward.
A 2.3 kg mass is attached to a horizontal spring of constant k = 578 N/m and pushed so that the spring compresses by 0.064 m. If the block is now released and the surface is frictionless, calculate the block's speed after it leaves the spring.
A cork gun contains a spring whose spring constant is 17.0 N/m. The spring is compressed by a distance X=45 cm and used to propel from the gun a cork of mass 2.43 g. Assuming the cork is released when the spring passes through its rest length position Xeq, what is the speed of the cork as it is released from the spring?
A bungee jumper steps off a bridge with zero initial velocity and falls straight down towards the river 100.0 meters below. Her bungee rope acts like an ideal spring and has a length of 30.0 meters in its neutral, unstretched state. If the bungee jumper just barely touches the water when she gets to the maximum extent of her plunge, what must the spring constant of her rope be? Assume the bungee jumper has a mass of 85.0 kg and can be treated as a point mass (that is, you don’t have to take her height into account!)
A block of mass 2.80 kg is placed against a horizontal spring of constant k = 805 N/m and pushed so the spring compresses by 0.0650 m. (a) What is the elastic potential energy of the block-spring system (in J)? (b) If the block is now released and the surface is frictionless, calculate the block's speed (in m/s) after leaving the spring.
What is the springs force constant (k)?
A spring of natural length 30 cm is attached to the floor directly below an identical spring that isattached to the ceiling. The ceiling is at a height of 3 m above the floor. A ball of mass 3 kg andradius 5 cm is projected vertically downwards with a speed of 10 m s-1from midway between the two springs.(a) If the lower spring is compressed to a length of 10 cm when the ball first comes to rest,calculate the spring constant of the springs.(b) After bouncing off the lower spring, the ball impacts the upper spring. Calculate the lengthof the upper spring when the ball comes to rest for the second time.
