A spring suspended from a ceiling has a constant of 12 Ib/ft. An 8 lb weight is placed on the spring, and when equilibrium is reached, the weight is raised 5 in. above the equilibrium position and dropped. Solve for the displacement (x) of the weight at any time (t). Type or paste an image of your solutions below:

If the block remains in the equilibrium position shown, determine the mass of the block D. The unextended length of spring AB is 9 m. d1 = 8 m d2 = 10 m KAC = 44 N/m KAB = 70 N/m Mass of block D = ____ kg
The mass is pulled to the right a distance of 0.2 m and released. Rank the following spring–mass combinations according to their oscillation periods from longest to shortest. If any combinations have the same period, give them the same rank. You should assume that there is no friction between the mass and the horizontal surface. (Use only ">" or "=" symbols. Do not include any parentheses around the letters or symbols.) k = 0.4 N/m; m = 0.50 kg k = 0.4 N/m; m = 1.00 kg k = 0.4 N/m; m = 2.00 kg k = 0.8 N/m; m = 0.50 kg k = 0.8 N/m; m = 1.00 kg
A 8.0 kg mass hanging from a spring scale is slowly lowered onto a vertical spring, as shown in (Figure 1). What does the spring scale read just before the mass touches the lower spring? The scale reads 16 NN when the lower spring has been compressed by 1.7 cmcm. What is the value of the spring constant for the lower spring? At what compression length will the scale read zero?
Learning Goal: To understand the use of Hooke's law for a spring. Hooke's law states that the restoring force F on a spring when it has been stretched or compressed is proportional to the displacement of the spring from its equilibrium position. The equilibrium position is the position at which the spring is neither stretched nor compressed. Recall that Fx means that F is equal to a constant times. For a spring, the proportionality constant is called the spring constant and denoted by k. The spring constant is a property of the spring and must be measured experimentally. The larger the value of k, the stiffer the spring. In equation form, Hooke's law can be written F = -kz. The minus sign indicates that the force is in the opposite direction to that of the spring's displacement from its equilibrium length and is "trying" to restore the spring to its equilibrium position. The magnitude of the force is given by F = kx, where x is the magnitude of the displacement. In Haiti, public…
