- A block of mass m = 2.00 kg is attached to a spring of force constant k = 500 N/m as shown in Figure P7.15. The block is pulled to a position xi = 5.00 cm to the right of equilibrium and released from rest. Find the speed the block has as it passes through equilibrium if (a) the horizontal surface is frictionless and (b) the coefficient of friction between block and surface is k = 0.350. Figure P7.15arrow_forwardA spring is attached to a block with a mass of 2.33 kg. The block is set on a rough horizonal surface, and you pull horizontally on the other end of the spring, steadily increasing the force. As soon as the spring stretches 0.126 m beyond its equilibrium length, you notice the block starts to move. If the spring constant is 75.8 N/m, what is the coefficient of static friction between the block and the surface?arrow_forwardA spring with force constant k = 100 N/m has two masses hanging from it, as drawn (M = 1 kg) (Figure 1). Without the masses, the free end of the spring (point A) is at an equilibrium distance of 10 cm below its support point. Figure A 3+3 C 1 of 1arrow_forward
- One end of a light spring with spring constant k₁ = 1,300 N/m is attached to the ceiling. A second light spring is attached to the lower end, with spring constant k₂ = 1,650 N/m. An object of mass 1.50 kg is attached to the lower end of the second spring.

Two identical light springs with spring constant 1,200 N/m are now individually hung vertically from the ceiling and attached at each end of a symmetric object, such as a rectangular block with uniform mass density. In this case, with the springs next to each other, we describe them as being in parallel. Find the effective spring constant (in N/m) of the pair of springs as a system in this situation.

Springs on each wheel compress--slightly--when the car is loaded. Ratings for the car give stiffness per wheel (the spring constant, treating the entire spring assembly as a single spring) as 2.8×107N/m When 30 passengers, each with average mass of 80 kg, board the car, how much does the car move down on its spring suspension?
