Three identical 8.50-kg masses are hung by three identical springs (Fig. E6.35). Each spring has a force constant of 7.80 kN/m and was 12.0 cm long before any masses were attached to it (a) Draw a free-body diagram of each mass. (b) How long is each spring when hanging as shown? (Hint: First isolate only the bottom mass. Then treat the bottom two masses as a system. Finally, treat all three masses as a system.)

She then lands on the springboard, which compresses it. What is the maximum compression of the springboard? How much time does it take for the board to fully compress? The spring constant of the board is 50,000 N/m.

Casino advertising boasts that a professional basketball player can lie on top of the machine and his head and feet will not hang off the edge! The ball launcher in the machine sends metal balls up one side of the machine and then into play. The spring in the launcher (Fig. P6.60) has a force constant of 1.20 N/cm. The surface on which the ball moves is inclined = 10.0 with respect to the horizontal. The spring is initially compressed its maximum distance d = 5.00 cm. A ball of mass 100 g is projected into play by releasing the plunger. Casino visitors find the play of the giant machine quite exciting.arrow_forwardAn inclined plane of angle = 20.0 has a spring of force constant k = 500 N/m fastened securely at the bottom so that the spring is parallel to the surface as shown in Figure P6.61. A block of mass m = 2.50 kg is placed on the plane at a distance d = 0.300 m from the spring. From this position, the block is projected downward toward the spring with speed v = 0.750 m/s. By what distance is the spring compressed when the block momentarily comes to rest?arrow_forward
- A 6 000-kg freight car rolls along rails with negligible friction. The car is brought to rest by a combination of two coiled springs as illustrated in Figure P6.27 (page 188). Both springs are described by Hookes law and have spring constants k1 = 1 600 N/m and k2, = 3 400 N/m. After the first spring compresses a distance of 30.0 cm, the second spring acts with the first to increase the force as additional compression occurs as shown in the graph. The car comes to rest 50.0 cm after first contacting the two-spring system. Find the cars initial speed.arrow_forwardA block of mass 0.250 kg is placed on top of a light, vertical spring of force constant 5 000 N/m and pushed downward so that the spring is compressed by 0.100 m. After the block is released from rest, it travels upward and then leaves the spring. To what maximum height above the point of release does it rise?arrow_forwardAssume that the force of a bow on an arrow behaves like the spring force. In aiming the arrow, an archer pulls the bow back 50 cm and holds it in position with a force of 150 N. If the mass of the arrow is 50 g and the “spring” is massless, what is the speed of the arrow immediately after it leaves the bow?arrow_forward
- A small 0.65-kg box is launched from rest by a horizontal spring as shown in Figure P9.50. The block slides on a track down a hill and comes to rest at a distance d from the base of the hill. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the box and the track is 0.35 along the entire track. The spring has a spring constant of 34.5 N/m, and is compressed 30.0 cm with the box attached. The block remains on the track at all times. a. What would you include in the system? Explain your choice. b. Calculate d. c. Compare your answer with your answer to Problem 50 if you did that problem.arrow_forwardAt 220 m, the bungee jump at the Verzasca Dam in Locarno, Switzerland, is one of the highest jumps on record. The length of the elastic cord, which can be modeled as having negligible mass and obeying Hookes law, has to be precisely tailored to each jumper because the margin of error at the bottom of the dam is less than 10.0 m. Kristin prepares for her jump by first hanging at rest from a 10.0-m length of the cord and is observed to stretch the rope to a total length of 12.5 m. a. What length of cord should Kristin use for her jump to be exactly 220 m? b. What is the maximum acceleration she will experience during her jump?arrow_forwardA light spring with spring constant 1 200 N/m is hung from an elevated support. From its lower end hangs a second light spring, which has spring constant 1 800 N/m. An object of mass 1.50 kg is hung at rest from the lower end of the second spring. (a) Find the total extension distance of the pair of springs. (b) Find the effective spring constant of the pair of springs as a system. We describe these springs as in series.arrow_forward
- A 1.00-kg object slides to the right on a surface having a coefficient of kinetic friction 0.250 (Fig. P8.62a). The object has a speed of vi = 3.00 m/s when it makes contact with a light spring (Fig. P8.62b) that has a force constant of 50.0 N/m. The object comes to rest after the spring has been compressed a distance d (Fig. P8.62c). The object is then forced toward the left by the spring (Fig. P8.62d) and continues to move in that direction beyond the spring's unstretched position. Finally, the object comes to rest a distance D to the left of the unstretched spring (Fig. P8.62e). Find (a) the distance of compression d, (b) the speed vat the unstretched posi-tion when the object is moving to the left (Fig. P8.624), and (c) the distance D where the abject comes to rest. Figure P8.62arrow_forwardYou are lying in your bedroom, resting after doing your physics homework. As you stare at your ceiling, you come up with the idea for a new game. You grab a dart with a sticky nose and a mass of 19.0 g. You also grab a spring that has been lying on your desk from some previous project. You paint a target pattern on your ceiling. Your new game is to place the spring vertically on the floor, place the sticky-nose dart facing upward on the spring, and push the spring downward until the coils all press together, as on the right in Figure P7.26. You will then release the spring, firing the dart up toward the target on your ceiling, where its sticky nose will make it hang from the ceiling. The spring has an uncompressed end-to-end length of 5.00 cm, as shown on the left in Figure P7.26, and can be compressed to an end-to-end length of 1.00 cm when the coils are all pressed together. Before trying the game, you hold the upper end of the spring in one hand and hang a bundle of ten identical darts from the lower end of the spring. The spring extends by 1.00 cm due to the weight of the darts. You are so excited about the new game that, before doing a test of the game, you run out to gather your friends to show them. When your friends are in your room watching and you show them the first firing of your new game, why are you embarrassed?arrow_forwardConsider the data for a block of mass m = 0.250 kg given in Table P16.59. Friction is negligible. a. What is the mechanical energy of the blockspring system? b. Write expressions for the kinetic and potential energies as functions of time. c. Plot the kinetic energy, potential energy, and mechanical energy as functions of time on the same set of axes. Problems 5965 are grouped. 59.
