**2. Spring Mechanics**When a spring is relaxed, it has a length \(L_0 = 18.0 \, \text{cm}\).**a.** (FRC.4) If a force of 1.8 N is required to stretch the spring to a length \(|\vec{L}| = 21.0 \, \text{cm}\), what is the spring constant \(k\) of the spring?**b.** (FRC.4) A 0.25 kg mass is attached to a spring, and the other end is attached to a post on a frictionless table so that the block can slide horizontally on the surface. The spring is compressed by \(|\vec{s}| = 5.0 \, \text{cm}\) and released from rest at \(t=0 \, \text{s}\). What is the spring force, \(\vec{F}_p\), when the spring is compressed 5.0 cm, as shown in the diagram?*Diagram Description:*The diagram depicts a spring attached to a mass on a frictionless table, compressed to 5.0 cm. The spring is indicated with a coil, and the compressive force is shown as an arrow pushing to the left, labeled \(\vec{L}\). The initial relaxed length \(L_0\) of the spring is also marked.**c.** (COM.1) If the mass is released from rest from \(\vec{L} = (13.0, 0, 0) \, \text{cm}\) at \(t=0 \, \text{s}\), what is the momentum of the mass after 0.01 s? Assume the force is nearly constant on a 0.01 s timestep.**d.** (COM.1) What is the position \(\vec{L}\) of the mass at \(t=0.01 \, \text{s}\)?
