Question
Multiple-Concept Example 6 presents a model for solving this problem. As far as vertical oscillations are concerned, a certain automobile can be considered to be mounted on four identical springs, each having a spring constant of 1.28 x 105 N/m. Then, four identical passengers are seated in the car, and it is set into a vertical oscillation that has a period of 0.387 s. If the mass of the empty car is 1560 kg, determine the mass of each passenger. Assume that the mass of the car and its passengers is distributed evenly over the springs.

- A 3 kg object attached to an ideal massless spring is compressed 1.2 m. If the spring constant is 45 N/m, find the magnitude of the spring force.arrow_forwardYou hang different masses M from the lower end of a vertical spring and measure the period T for each value of M. You use Excel to plot T2 (in s2) on the y-axis versus M (in kg) on the x-axis. The equation for the straight line that gives the best fit to your data is y = 0.0467x + 0.00400. (a) What is the mass of the spring? I found that the force constant of the spring is 845.362 N/m and for the mass of the spring I found it to be 0.085 kg (85.65 g) but it's wrong when I submit it.
