Two massless springs (S1 and S2) are arranged such that one hangs vertically downward and the other is vertically upward, as shown in figure (a). When a 0.400-kg mass is suspended from S1, it stretches by an amount Δx1 = 0.066 m, as shown in figure (b). Spring S1 is now lowered so that the mass rests on and compresses spring S2, as shown in figure (c). If S2 has a spring constant k2 = 93.0 N/m, determine the amount S1 is stretched (Δx1s) when the elastic potential energy of the two springs is the same. Use g = 9.80 m/s2 for the magnitude of the acceleration due to gravity. m

A 30.0-kg block is resting on a flat horizontal table. On top of this block is resting a 15.0-kg block, to which a horizontal spring is attached, as the figure illustrates. The spring constant of the spring is 271 N/m. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the lower block and the table is 0.615, and the coefficient of static friction between the two blocks is 0.852. A horizontal force is applied to the lower block as shown. This force is increasing in such a way as to keep the blocks moving at a constant speed.
