At the grocery store you can weight out how much fruit you want to buy. I put four pears on the scale. The pears stretch the spring in the scale and shows a reading of 3.5 kg for the pears. The whole thing is at rest. If the spring constant is 3901.7 N/m, what is the displacement of the spring? gudry

5. A 60 kg circus performer is swinging from a trapeze bar.A: She is 10 m off the ground with a speed v1. The spring-board platform below her is atits equilibrium length.B: She lets go of the trapeze bar and lands on th spring-board platform, which compresseswhen she lands on it. When she is stationary, she is 2 m off the ground and the springis maximally compressed.C: The spring-board extends and launches her back into the air. As soon as the spring istotally relaxed again, the performer is 3 m off the ground and has a speed v2.D: The performer lands on a platform 10 m above the floor, and she stands stationary. a. Her initial speed v1 = 10 m/s. What is her total energy at point A? b. Between points A and B, assume none of her energy is lost to heat or friction. Whenshe is stationary on the compressed platform at B, how much energy is stored in thespring-board platform? c. When the spring-board platform is fully released at point C, what must her speed v2 be?
Suppose you have a spring and you want to know what its spring constant is. In order to find out you use a mass of 1kg to compress the spring. You observe that the spring is compressed by 10cm. What is the spring constant.

A block of mass 2.1 kg is sitting on a frictionless ramp with a spring at the bottom that has a spring constant of 525 N/m (refer to the figure). The angle of the ramp with respect to the horizontal is 12 degrees. a. The block, starting from rest, slides down the ramp a distance 68 cm before hitting the spring. How far, in centimeters, is the spring compressed as the block comes back to momentary rest? b. After the block comes to rest, the spring pushes the block back up the ramp. How fast, in meters per second, is the block moving right after it comes off the spring? c. What is the change of the gravitational potential eneregy, in joules, between the original position of the block at the top of the ramp and the position of the block when the spring is fully compressed?
