A typical mattress has a network of springs that provide support. If you sit on a mattress, the springs compress. A heavier person compresses the springs more than a lighter person. Use the properties of springs and spring forces to explain why.
There is a small but appreciable amount of elastic hysteresis in the large tendon at the back of a horse’s leg. Explain how this can cause damage to the tendon if a horse runs too hard for too long a time.

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_forwardCar 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?

- The nuchal ligament in a horse supports the weight of the horse’s head. This ligament is much more elastic than a typical ligament, stretching from 15% to 45% longer than its resting length as a horse’s head moves up and down while it runs. This stretch of the ligament stores energy, making locomotion more efficient. Measurements on a segment of ligament show a linear stress-versusstrain relationship until the stress approaches 0.80. Smoothed data for the stretch are shown. Suppose the ligament has a circular cross section. For a certain ligament, an investigator measures the restoring force at a strain of 0.40. If the ligament is replaced with one that has twice the diameter, by what factor does the restoring force increase?A. 1.4B. 2C. 4D. 8arrow_forward1arrow_forwardA 0.465 kg pendulum bob passes through the lowest part of its path at a speed of 2.47 m/s.

Go Review Conceptual Example 2 as an aid in solving this problem. An object is at- tached to the lower end of a 100-coil spring that is hanging from the ceiling. The spring stretches by 0.160 m. The spring is then cut into two identical springs of 50 coils each. As the drawing shows, each spring is attached between the ceiling and the object.
