Question
5) An instrument to measure the acceleration of gravity on Mars is constructed of a spring from which is suspended a mass of 0.40 kg. At a place on earth where the local acceleration of gravity is 9.81 ms?, the spring extends 1.08 cm. When the instrument package is landed on Mars, it radios the information that the spring is extended 0.40 cm. What is the Martian acceleration of gravity?.

Imagine a 5.00 kg mass hanging from a rope on a planet with a value of g=0.500 m/s^2. In addition, there is a spring that goes straight down from the mass to the ground, and the spring has a spring constant of k=20 N/m. The spring has been stretched from its equilibrium position by 4.00 cm. The rope will break if the tension exceeds 5 N. (5a) Draw a free-body diagram for the mass, labeling all forces. (5b) What is the tension in the rope? (5c) The mass is slowly lifted using the rope, so that the spring continues to stretch. How many more centimeters can you stretch the spring before the rope breaks?arrow_forward
