A cylinder of mass m is free to slide in a vertical tube. The kinietic friction force between the cylinder and the walls of the tube has magnitude f. You attach the upper end of a lightweight vertical spring of force constant k to the cap at the top of the tube, and attach the lower end of the spring to the top of the cylinder. Initially the cylinder is at rest and the spring is relaxed. You then release the cylinder. What vertical distance will the cylinder descend before it comes momentarily to rest? Express your answer in terms of the variables m, f, and constants g, k.

A spring with a spring constant of k = 192 N/m is initially compressed by a block a distance d = 0.23 m. The block is on a horizontal surface with coefficient of kinetic friction μk, static friction μs, and has a mass of m = 7 kg. How large would the coefficient of static friction μs need to be to keep the block from moving? Recall that to keep the block from moving, the acceleration is zero. Assuming the block has just begun to move and the coefficient of kinetic friction is μk = 0.2, what is the block's acceleration in meters per square second?
An ornament of mass 41.4 g is attached to a vertical ideal spring with a force constant (spring constant) of 13.6 N/m. The ornament is then lowered very slowly until the spring stops stretching. How much does the spring stretch?
A spring (k = 970 N/m) is hanging from the ceiling of an elevator, and a 7.2-kg object is attached to the lower end. By how much does the spring stretch (relative to its unstrained length) when the elevator is accelerating upward at a = 0.55 m/s²?
A block of mass m is located on an inclined plane that makes an angle with the horizontal. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the inclined plane is μ₁. The block presses against, but is not attached to, a spring with constant k₁. When the spring is at its equilibrium position, the block is at a height h above the ground, as shown. The initial position of the block, from which it is released, is a bit further up the inclined plane such that the spring is initially compressed by Ax. At the bottom of the inclined plane is a horizontal plane with a different coefficient of friction, μ2, for the first distance, d, after which the surface is frictionless, and the equilibrium position of a spring with constant k₂ is encountered. Part (a) Suppose that numeric values are such that block comes to rest before reaching the the ramp. Let x distance traveled from the equilibrium position of the block towards the bottom of the ramp. Enter an expression for x. Part (b) Suppose…
A spring is attached to a block with a mass of 2.33 kg. The block is set on a rough horizonal surface, and you pull horizontally on the other end of the spring, steadily increasing the force. As soon as the spring stretches 0.126 m beyond its equilibrium length, you notice the block starts to move. If the spring constant is 75.8 N/m, what is the coefficient of static friction between the block and the surface?
A cart with mass m is held at rest against a spring with spring constant k. It is compressed a distance x. When released from rest, it is launched through a frictionless track. It contains a vertical loop 7. with a radius of R. Find the force the track exerts on the cart when the cart goes through the top of the loop in terms of m, k, F, and R and any other constants. R k m
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?
A 205 g object is attached to a spring that has a force constant of 76.5 N/m. The object is pulled 7.25 cm to the right of equilibrium and released from rest to slide on a horizontal, frictionless table. Calculate the maximum speed vmax of the object. Umax = m/s Find the locations of the object when its velocity is one-third of the maximum speed. Treat the equilibrium position as zero, positions to the right as positive, and positions to the left as negative. position: cm position: cm

A box is motionless, sitting on a ramp with an incline of 0 =54.4 ° being pulled in the direction up the ramp by a spring with a spring constant of k=150 N/m that is stretched x=6.4 m.

Design a "bungee jump" apparatus for adults. A bungee jumper falls from a high platform with two elastic cords tied to the ankles. The jumper falls freely for a while, with the cords slack. Then the jumper falls an additional distance with the cords increasingly tense. Assume that you have cords that are 8 m long, and that the cords stretch in the jump an additional 22 m for a jumper whose mass is 100 kg, the heaviest adult you will allow to use your bungee jump (heavier customers would hit the ground). (a) It will help you a great deal in your analysis to make a series of 5 simple diagrams, like comic strip, showing the platform, the jumper, and the two cords at the following times in the fall and the rebound: 1 while cords are slack (shown here as an example to get you started) 2 when the two cords are just starting to stretch 3 when the two cords are half stretched 4 when the two cords are fully stretched 5 when the two cords are again half stretched, on the way up On each diagram,…
