Questions 2-5 reference the picture of mass attached to a spring shown. The left most picture gives the spring in its relaxed (equilibrium) position. The mass is lifted to point "B" and let go such that it oscillates up and down as shown in the right most position. Positions B and C are its highest and lowest points while bouncing. Point A is where the mass is traveling the fastest. Neglect air drag. 100 g BA A 100 g 100 g C At what point will the system have the largest total energy?

A stiff spring k = 666 N/m has be attached to the floor vertically. A mass of 6.66 kg is placed on top of the spring as shown below and it finds a new equilibrium point. If the block is pressed downward and released it oscillates. If the compression is too big, however, the block will lose contact with the spring at the maximum vertical extension. Draw a free body diagram and find that extension at which the block loses contact with the spring.
