The tension in a ligament in the human knee is approximately proportional to the extension of the ligament, if the extension is not too large. If a particular ligament has an effective spring constant of 160 N/mm as it is stretched, what is the tension in this ligament when it is stretched by 0.760 cm ? What is the maximum compression of the spring? The spring sends the block back to the left. How high does the block rise?

Spring Potential Energy

The potential energy is the energy possessed by a body by virtue of its position or the energy held by the object due to its position relative to other objects, its force like stresses, charge, and other factors affecting the particles of the body. The potential energy is the measure of the net work done by or on the body. The spring potential energy is the potential energy stored due to the deformation of an elastic spring and this elasticity is due to the stretched spring. The elasticity is the ability of a solid-state matter to come back to its equilibrium position or original position after any kind of external force is acted on it. It is also known as Elastic potential energy. The potential energy here is caused due to the displacement of the spring from its equilibrium position to another position and this potential energy is equal to the net work done due to the stretching of the spring. It also resembles the same mechanics of the oscillation of a simple pendulum, where due to the external force, the object moves from its equilibrium position to its maximum ends and the periodic motion continues till it comes back to the equilibrium position to rest.

A vehicle applies it breaks for 102 ft before departing the roadway. The roadway surface friction factor is 0.50. The vehicle continues to break on an unpaved surface with a fiction factor of 0.30, for another 30 ft. The vehicle then strikes a stationary object with an impact of 20 mph. What was the initial speed of the vehicle? The roadway and unpaved surface are level.
Given: F = force of weight = m g m = mass g = grav. acceleration FS = force on a spring = k x x = distance a spring stretches k = spring constant (unknown) Observation: When a known mass of m1 is suspended from the bottom of a particular spring, exerting a measured force of F1, the spring stretches a measured distance of x1. Question: If a second known mass, m2 is added to the first mass at the bottom of the spring (so that both masses are hanging from the spring at the same time), which of the following equations will identify the new distance the spring will stretch? (Hint: Will it be more or less than the old distance?) x2 = x1 m1 / ( m1 + m2 ) x2 = x1 ( m1 + m2 ) / m1 x2 = ( ( m2 + m1 ) k / g x2 = m1 m2 / ( F1 k )
