A spring is mounted horizontally, with its left end held stationary. By attaching a spring balance to the free end and pulling toward the right, the stretching force is proportional to the displacement and that a force of 6.0 N causes a displacement of 0.030 m. We remove the spring balance and attach a 0.50-kg glider to the end, pull it a distance of 0.020 m along a frictionless air track, release it and watch it oscillate. Find the force constant of the spring. Find the angular frequency, frequency and period of oscillation.

Some people modify cars to be much closer to the ground than when manufactured. Should they install stiffer springs? Explain your answer.
The left end of a spring is attached to a wall. When Bob pulls on the right end with a 200N force, he stretches the spring by 20 cm. The same spring is then used for a tug of war between Bob and Carlos. Each pulls on his end of the spring with a 200N force. How far does the spring stretch. Explain
A bar weighing 26.0 N is supported horizontally on each end by two hangingsprings, each 15.0 cm long, with spring constants 0.970 N/cm and 1.45 N/cm,respectively. The bar is 6.00 m long and has a center of mass 2.00 m from thespring with constant 0.970 N/cm. How far does each spring stretch?
A pendulum consists of a 2.0 m long steel wire supporting a lentil of mass 20 kg. If the pendulum is released from a position where it makes an angle of 60 with the vertical, find the difference in length of the wire when the bob is in the initial position and when it passes through its lowest position.
The system is released from rest with the spring initially stretched 2.8 in. Calculate the velocity v of the cylinder after it has dropped 1.5 in. The spring has a stiffness of 4.1 lb/in. Neglect the mass of the small pulley. k = 4.1 lb/in 80 lb
When a body of mass 0.25 kg is attached to a vertical mass less spring, it is extended 5.0 cm from its unstretched length of 4.0 cm. The body and spring are placed on a horizontal frictionless surface and rotated about the held end of the spring at 2.0 rev/s. How far is the spring stretched?
The uniform thin pole has a weight of 30 lb and a length of 26 ft. If it is placed against the smooth wall and on the rough floor in the position d = 10 ft, will it remain in this position when it is released? The coefficient of static friction is us = 0.3. B 26 ft
The figure shows a conical object does not qualify an object at the lower end, the rope moves in a cone-like appearance when horizontal (the rope describes an object at the lower end). The object has constant modulus capability. The object's mass is m, the string has length L and a has radius r. Neglect air resistance. Consider the following statements:i) the work of the weight force is zero.II) the work of the pulling force on the string is zero.III) the kinetic energy of the system does not change. Of these statements, only true are: a) Ib) IIc) IIId) I and IIe) II and IIIf) I and IIIg) Allh) None
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.
John is performing an isometric contraction of the quadriceps to hold a 500 N weight at an angle of 45° of knee extension (i.e., 45° below the horizontal). Assume the length of the lower leg is 42.5 cm. How much force must the quadriceps produce if the moment arm for the patellar tendon is 10 mm?
Mountaineers often use a rope to lower themselves down the face of a cliff (this is called rappelling). They do this with their body nearly horizontal and their feet pushing against the cliff (Figure 1). Suppose that an 82.0 kg climber, who is 1.90 m tall and has a center of gravity 1.1 m from his feet, rappels down a vertical cliff with his body raised 35.0∘ above the horizontal. He holds the rope 1.40 m from his feet, and it makes a 25.0∘ angle with the cliff face. 1. What tension does his rope need to support? 2. Find the horizontal component of the force that the cliff face exerts on the climber's feet. 3. Find the vertical component of the force that the cliff face exerts on the climber's feet. 4. What minimum coefficient of static friction is needed to prevent the climber's feet from slipping on the cliff face if he has one foot at a time against the cliff?
Two masses, m1 and m2, are attached to a 2.40-m-long steel wire which runs over a light, frictionless pulley as shown. Assume the cross section of the wire is circular with a diameter of d = 4.00 mm,m1 = 3.05 kg,and m2 = 4.30 kg. The masses are released from rest and allowed to move freely. Compared with its length before the masses were attached, by how much has the wire stretched (in mm) while the masses are in motion? (Young's modulus for steel is 2.00 ✕ 1011 N/m2. Neglect the mass of the wire in your calculations.)
