A spring stretches 5.0 cm when a 0.20 kg block is hung from it. If a 0.70 kg block replaces the 0.20 kg block, how far does the spring stretch?
we analyzed a cable used to support an actor as he swings onto the stage. Now suppose the tension in the cable is 940 N as the actor reaches the lowest point. What diameter should a 10-m-long steel cable have if we do not want it to stretch more than 0.50 cm under these conditions?
If it takes 5.30 N to stretch a spring 7 cm, and if the spring is then cut in 9 equal pieces, what force (in N) does it take to stretch one of the pieces 7 cm?
