b) in the equilibrium position. (c) Discuss the difference between Hooke's law in the form F = -kx and F = -k∆s and which of the above situations is described by which form. Is this the force of the block on the spring or of the spring on the block? (d) Explain the motion of the block and the sign of the equation. This same spring is placed vertically on the ground and a 10.2 kg block is held 15 cm above the spring, Fig. 1(c). The block is then dropped, hits the spring a compressing. (e) What is the height of the spring H at the point of maximum compression?
A spring of length l = 20 cm and spring constant k = 5000 N/m has one end attached to a wall and the other end attached to a block
wall and the other end attached to a block as shown in Fig. 1(b). The end with the block is displaced from its equilibrium position
(relaxed spring), compressing it by 5.0 cm, and the system is released from rest. Assuming that
there is no dissipation during the process the motion is described from Hooke's law. Construct
the graph of the force as a function of the position of the block considering its coordinate system located (a) on the wall
the wall; (b) in the equilibrium position. (c) Discuss the difference between Hooke's law in the form F = -kx and F = -k∆s
and which of the above situations is described by which form. Is this the force of the block on the spring or of the spring on
the block? (d) Explain the motion of the block and the sign of the equation. This same spring is placed vertically on the
ground and a 10.2 kg block is held 15 cm above the spring, Fig. 1(c). The block is then dropped, hits the spring a
compressing. (e) What is the height of the spring H at the point of maximum compression?
