A Spring Gun. A hydraulic press is used to compress a spring that will then be used to project a 29.0-kg steelball. The system is similar, but smaller in scale, to the car jack illustrated in Figure 11.14. In this case, thesmaller cylinder has a diameter of d₁ = 0.85 cm and has a manually operated plunger. The larger cylinder has adiameter of d₂ = 9.0 cm, and its piston compresses the spring. The idea is that the gun operator pulls a leverthat pushes the plunger on the small cylinder, which transmits a pressure to the larger piston that, in turn,exerts a force on the spring and compresses it. Once the spring is compressed, the steel ball is loaded and thespring is released, ejecting the ball.(a) If a force of 1000 N is exerted on the primary (smaller) piston to compress the spring 1.30 m from itsequilibrium (uncompressed) position, what is the spring constant k of the spring?(b) What is the velocity of the steel ball just after it is ejected?(c) Neglecting air resistance, what is the maximum range of this "spring gun"?(a) Number(b) Number(c) NumberUnitsUnitsUnitsî
