People who ride motorcycles and bicycles learn to look out for bumps in the road and especially for washboarding, a condition in which many equally spaced ridges are worn into the road. What is so bad about washboarding? A motorcycle has several springs and shock absorbers in its suspension, but you can model it as a single spring supporting a block. You can estimate the force constant by thinking about how far the spring compresses when a heavy rider sits on the scat. A motorcyclist traveling at highway speed must be particularly careful of washboard bumps that are a certain distance apart. What is the order of magnitude of their separation distance?

- A uniform wire (Y = 2.0 1011 N/m2) is subjected to a longitudinal tensile stress of 4.0 107 N/m2. What is the fractional change in the length of the wire?arrow_forwardAll spiders are very sensitive to vibrations. An orb spider will sit at the center of its large, circular web and monitor radial threads for vibrations created when an insect lands. Assume that these threads are made of silk with a linear density of 1.0 × 10-5 kg/m under a tension of 0.40 N, both typical numbers. If an insect lands in the web 30 cm from the spider, how long will it take forthe spider to find out?arrow_forwardA particular human hair has a Young's modulus of 3.63×109 N/m2 and a diameter of 145 μm.

- Car enthusiasts often lower their cars closer to the ground as a matter of style. James wants to lower his car by replacing all four of his original coil springs with new ones offered as an option by the car manufacturer. Note that changing the coil springs on a car can unsafely affect its handling. Consult your national or state laws before altering the suspension on any car. The new springs will be identical to the original springs, except the force constant will be 6155.00 N/m6155.00 N/m smaller. When James removes the original springs, he discovers that the length of each spring expands from 8.55 cm (its length when installed) to 12.00 cm (its length with no load placed on it). If the mass of the car body is 1355.00 kg,1355.00 kg, by how much will the body be lowered with the new springs installed, compared to its original height?
