Question
Problem 4: A child's toy consists of a m = 35 g monkey suspended from a spring of
negligible mass and spring constant k. When the toy monkey is first hung on the spring and the
system reaches equilibrium, the spring has stretched a distance of x = 11.1 cm, as shown in the
diagram. This toy is so adorable you pull the monkey down an additional d = 4.7 cm from
equilibrium and release it from rest, and smile with delight as it bounces playfully up and down.
