A massless spring of spring constant k = 4434 N/m is connected to a mass m = 76 kg at rest on a horizontal, frictionless surface.
a. The mass is displaced from equilibrium by A = 0.82 m along the spring’s axis. How much potential energy, in joules, is stored in the spring as a result?
b. When the mass is released from rest at the displacement A= 0.82 m, how much time, in seconds, is required for it to reach its maximum kinetic energy for the first time?
c. The typical amount of energy released when burning one barrel of crude oil is called the barrel of oil equivalent (BOE) and is equal to 1 BOE = 6.1178362 GJ. Calculate the number, N, of springs with spring constant k = 4434 N/m displaced to A = 0.82 m you would need to store 1 BOE of potential energy.
d. Imagine that the N springs from part (c) are released from rest simultaneously. If the potential energy stored in the springs is fully converted to kinetic energy and thereby “released” when the attached masses pass through…

(b) Calculate the decrease in gravitational potential energy of the 0.500-kg object when it descends this distance. (c) Part of this gravitational energy goes into the spring.

Explain where the rest of the energy might go.arrow_forwardIn the short story The Pit and the Pendulum by 19th-century American horror writer Edgar Allen Poe, a man is tied to a table directly below a swinging pendulum that is slowly lowered toward him. The bob of the pendulum is a 1-ft steel scythe connected to a 30-ft brass rod. When the man first sees the pendulum, the pivot is roughly 1 ft above the scythe so that a 29-ft length of the brass rod oscillates above the pivot (Fig. P16.39A). The man escapes when the pivot is near the end of the brass rod (Fig. P16.39B). a. Model the pendulum as a particle of mass ms 5 2 kg attached to a rod of mass mr 5 160 kg. Find the pendulums center of mass and rotational inertia around an axis through its center of mass. (Check your answers by finding the center of mass and rotational inertia of just the brass rod.) b. What is the initial period of the pendulum? c. The man saves himself by smearing food on his ropes so that rats chew through them. He does so when he has no more than 12 cycles before the pendulum will make contact with him. How much time does it take the rats to chew through the ropes? FIGURE P16.39arrow_forward

A second block of mass m is now placed on the table, in contact with the free end of the spring, and the two blocks are pushed together (Fig. P10.78). When the blocks are released, the more massive block moves to the left at 2.50 m/s. a. What is the speed of the less massive block? b.
