Question

You want to create the art installation in figure C, in which a block of mass 29.8 kg is hung with two ropes and a spring. However, first you will need to determine the spring constant of the spring (that’s part (a) of this problem).
(a) The unstretched spring is shown in figure A. When you hang the block from it, the spring stretches a distance d1=20 cm. What is the spring constant?
(b) Now that you know the spring constant, you set up the situation in figure C, where the spring is horizonal and stretched a distance d2=10 cm, one rope is vertical, and the other rope is at an angle θ=25.2 . Find the tension in each rope.
