Question
Please hand by written ans. A vertical 27-cmcm-long spring has its bottom end attached to the tabletop. If a 3.0 kgkg box is put on the top end, the spring compresses to a length of 22 cmcm. (1) Determine the spring constant. (2) Determine the height of the spring when a 5.5 kgkg block is placed on its top.

- A huge pendulum consists of a 200-kg ball at the end of a cable 15 m long. If the pendulum is drawn back to an angle of 37 degrees and released, what maximum force must the cable withstand as the pendulum swings back and forth?arrow_forwardA spring with spring constant k = 190 N/m is suspended vertically with its upper end fixed to the ceiling and its lower end at position y = 0. A block of weight 21 N is attached to the lower end, held still for a moment, and then released. If K = the kinetic energy, ΔUg = the change (from the initial value) in the gravitational potential energy, and ΔUe = the change in the elastic potential energy...

- 40. A pendulum, comprising a light string of length L and a S small sphere, swings in the vertical plane. The string hits a peg located a distance d below the point of suspension (Fig. P8.40). (a) Show that if the sphere is released from a height below that of the peg, it will return to this height after the string strikes the peg. (b) Show that if the pendu- Pege lum is released from rest at the hor- izontal position (0 = 90°) and is to swing in a complete circle centered on the peg, the minimum value of d must be 3L/5.

By how much will the spring be compressed if a mass 1.30 kg is placed on top of it?arrow_forwardA hanging scale works because the length a spring stretches is directly proportional to the weight pulling down on the spring. These scales are commonly used in grocery stores. You are shopping for bananas and see that they are on sale for $0.29 a pound. When you weigh the bananas, the scale reads 2.40 pounds (1.09 kg). If the bananas cause the spring to stretch 2.30 cm, what is the spring constant of the spring found in the scale?arrow_forward
