The light rod is pivoted at O and carries the 5- and 10-lb particles. If the rod is released from rest at 0 = 60° and swings in the vertical plane, calculate (a) the velocity v of the 5-lb particle just before it hits the spring in the dashed position and (b) the maximum compression x of the spring. Assume that x is small so that the position of the rod when the spring is compressed is essentially horizontal.

As shown in the figure, a 1.50-kg box is held at rest against a spring with a force constant k = 790 N/m that is compressed a distance d. When the box is released, it slides across a surface that is frictionless, except for a rough patch that has a coefficient of kinetic friction u, = 0.400 and is 6.00 cm in length. If the speed of the box is 1.50 m/s after sliding across the rough patch, determine the initial compression d of the spring. cm Equilibrium position v=0' rough patch wwwwwn 6.00 cm
A block of mass M = 8 kg rests on a horizontal frictionless floor, and is connected to a vertical wall by a spring of force constant k = 200 N/m. When the spring is in its equilibrium position (neither stretched nor compressed), the block just touches a second lighter block of mass m = 4 kg at rest on the frictionless floor. The spring with mass M attached is now compressed by 0.1 m and released. The two blocks undergo a completely inelastic collision, i.e., they stick together after collision. Draw a diagram and define all relevant variables. Just before the collision, what is the velocity of mass MT Just after the collision, what is the common velocity of the two blocks? (What is the maximum stretching of the spring after the collision?: How long after the collision do the masses reach their first maximum stretch?
Consider the following system: A spring has stiffness 598 N/m and is initially uncompressed. It is oriented vertically and placed on hard surface. A mass of size 2.3 kg is released from rest 9 m above the spring. Calculate the speed of the mass at the moment when the spring is compressed 0.5 m. Use g = 10 m/s2.

A 2.0 kg block located on an inclined surface is pushed against a spring with negligibile mass as shown in the figure. The block is released with an initial velocity v, =1.5 m/ls. it moves along a frictionless surface along inclined with slope 37° and continue moving along a rough horizontal surface ( g) with u, =0.3, and collide with the spring (k-400 N/m).

A ball of mass m, initially at rest, falls from a height h through a curved path to ground level (see figure). Then it is damped by a spring with a constant of elasticity k, until it stops. Using the law of conservation of mechanical energy, find the velocity of the ball just before it touches the spring and the distance the spring is compressed from its equilibrium length to when the ball stops.
A block of mass, m = 0.5 kg is used to compress a spring with a spring con- 78.4 N/m a distance x from it's resting point. The block is then stant, k released and travels towards a circular loop of radius, R = 1.5 m. The loop and the surface as frictionless except for the region, of length 2.5 m, defined by AB which has a coefficient of friction, µk = 0.3. Determine the minimum compression of the spring that allows for the block to just make it through the loop-to-loop at point C (Hint: This problem is best done by starting at the end and working backwards).

A cube of a mass m=0.37 kg is set against a spring with a spring constant of k1=656 N/m which has been compressed by a distance of 0.1 m. Some distance in front of it, along a frictionless surface, is another spring with a spring constant of k2=181N/m. The cube is not connected to the first spring and may slide freely. I found (a) and (b). I just need help with (c). a). How far d2, in meters, will the second spring compress when thee cube runs into it? 0.19 m. (answer) b). How fast v, in meters per second, will the cube be moving when it strikes the second spring? 4.21 m/s (answer) c). Now assume friction is present on the surface in between the ends of the springs at their equilibrium lengths, and the coefficient of kinetic friction is uk=0.5. If the distance between the springs is x=1m, how far d2, in meters, will the second spring now compress?
