m.
A single mass m, = 4.5 kg hangs from a spring in a motionless elevator. The spring is extended x = 15 cm from its
unstretched length.
1) What is the spring constant of the spring?
N/m Submit
2)
m.

m.
Now, three masses m, = 4.5 kg, m, = 13.5 kg and m, = 9 kg hang from three identical springs in a motionless elevator.
The springs all have the same spring constant that you just calculated above.
What is the force the top spring exerts on the top mass?
N( Submit
3) What is the distance the lower spring is stretched from its equilibrium length?
cm Submit

Transcribed Image Text:4) Now the elevator is moving downward with a velocity of v = -2.1 m/s but accelerating upward with an acceleration of
a = 3.9 m/st. (Note: an upward acceleration when the elevator is moving down means the elevator is slowing down.)
What is the force the bottom spring exerts on the bottom mass?
N Submit
5) What is the distance the upper spring is extended from its unstretched length?
cm ( Submit
6) Finally, the elevator is moving downward with a velocity of v = -2.5 m/s and also accelerating downward at an
acceleration of a = -2.3 m/s?.
The elevator is:
Ospeeding up
Oslowing down
O moving at a constant speed

7) Rank the distances the springs are extended from their unstretched lengths:
Ox, = X2 = X3
Ox, > x2 > X3
Ox, < x2 < X3
