A block is attached to a spring, and the block makes contact with a frictionless surface. Sketch a graph of the potential energy of the blockspring system as a function of position along with the corresponding system as in Figure 8.16 (page 224).

The launching mechanism of a toy gun consists of a spring of unknown spring constant, as shown in Figure P5.39a. If the spring is compressed a distance of 0.120 m and the gun fired vertically as shown, the gun can launch a 20.0-g projectile from rest to a maximum height of 20.0 m above the starting point of the projectile. Neglecting all resistive forces, (a) describe the mechanical energy transformations that occur from the time the gun is fired until the projectile reaches its maximum height, (b) determine the spring constant, and (c) find the speed of the projectile as it moves through the equilibrium position of the spring (where x = 0), as shown in Figure P5.39b.

The spring constant of an automotive suspension spring increases with increasing load due to a spring coil that is widest at the bottom, smoothly tapering to a smaller diameter near the top. The result is a softer ride on normal road surfaces from the wider coils, but the car does not bottom out on bumps because when the lower coils collapse, the stiffer coils near the top absorb the load. For such springs, the force exerted by the spring can be empirically found to be given by F = axb. For a tapered spiral spring that compresses 12.9 cm with a 1 000-N load and 31.5 cm with a 5 000-N load, (a) evaluate the constants a and b in the empirical equation for F and (b) find the work needed to compress the spring 25.0 cm.

After ripping the padding off a chair you are refurbishing, you notice that there are six springs beneath, which are intended to contribute equally in supporting your weight when you sit. You find a tag that indicates that the springs are identical and that each has a spring constant of 1.5 103 N/m. What would be the elastic potential energy stored in the six-spring system if you were to sit on the chair?
