Draw separate free-body diagrams for each block and for the spring immediately after release. Indicate separately the vertical forces (perpendicular to the table top) and the horinra1 forces (parallel to the table top). Clearly label all forces.
Identify all the each member of the second pair as
etc.).

The free body diagram of block and spring.
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
Newtonian mechanics states that force never occurs singly in nature. Force is the mutual interaction between two bodies. The mutual forces are always equal and opposite in direction.
When the block is being apart, the spring force is acting towards the equilibrium position, and the block is coming towards each other as the spring is compressed.
In the vertical direction, force is acting on the block due to gravity.
The free body diagram in the vertical direction is shown in figure 1.
Figure 1
The free body diagram in horizontal direction is shown in figure 2.
Figure 2
Conclusion:
Therefore, the free body diagram in the vertical and horizontal direction is shown in Figures 1 and 2 respectively.

- Hi! I need help with these calculations for part i and part k for a physics Diffraction Lab. We used a slit width 0.4 mm to measure our pattern.arrow_forwardExamine the data and % error values in Data Table 3 where the angular displacement of the simple pendulum decreased but the mass of the pendulum bob and the length of the pendulum remained constant. Describe whether or not your data shows that the period of the pendulum depends on the angular displacement of the pendulum bob, to within a reasonable percent error.arrow_forwardIn addition to the anyalysis of the graph, show mathematically that the slope of that line is 2π/√g . Using the slope of your line calculate the value of g and compare it to 9.8.arrow_forward
- An object is placed 24.1 cm to the left of a diverging lens (f = -6.51 cm). A concave mirror (f= 14.8 cm) is placed 30.2 cm to the right of the lens to form an image of the first image formed by the lens. Find the final image distance, measured relative to the mirror. (b) Is the final image real or virtual? (c) Is the final image upright or inverted with respect to the original object?arrow_forwardConcept Simulation 26.4 provides the option of exploring the ray diagram that applies to this problem. The distance between an object and its image formed by a diverging lens is 5.90 cm. The focal length of the lens is -2.60 cm. Find (a) the image distance and (b) the object distance.arrow_forwardPls help ASAParrow_forward
