Question
The springs of a pickup truck act like a single spring with a force constant of k = 1.25 × 105 N/m.
a)How many centimeters will the truck be lowered by its maximum load of 1080 kg?
b)If the pickup truck has four identical springs, what is the force constant of each, in newtons per meter? Assume the allowed compression is the same as in part (a).

- A spring 1.50 m long with force constant 442 N/m is hung from the ceiling of an elevator, and a block of mass 13.3 kg is attached to the bottom of the spring. (a) By how much is the spring stretched when the block is slowly lowered to its equilibrium point? (Enter the magnitude only.) m(b) If the elevator subsequently accelerates upward at 1.56 m/s2, what is the position of the block, taking the equilibrium position found in part (a) as y = 0 and upwards as the positive y-direction. (Indicate the direction with the sign of your answer.) ?m(c) If the elevator cable snaps during the acceleration, describe the subsequent motion of the block relative to the freely falling elevator.

They are using a spring of stiffness coefficient k-2000 N/m to accelerate packages of mass m=3.5 kg up a ramp of length d=8 m, has kinetic friction coefficient u=0.5, and makes an angle of 0=45° above the horizontal. a) If the spring is compressed a distance x=0.7 m prior to launching a package, how much energy does the package have before launching up the ramp? b) Does the package lose any energy as it goes up the ramp? If so, how much? If not, why? c) At what speed will the package leave the ramp? d) If end of the ramp is H=5.66 m above the ground and the truck's bed is h=1.2 m above the ground, at what distance, L, should the truck park from the end of the ramp so the packages land in its bed?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

A spring (spring constant = 498 N/m) is attached to the block. Someone pushes on the end of the spring in a direction perpendicular to the wall until the block does not slip downward.

A heavy crate (m = 23 kg) is resting on a frictionless inclined plane while suspended from a wall by a spring. The plane is inclined at an angle of 30° from the horizontal, and the spring is stretched from its equilibrium position by 25 cm. What is the spring constant of the spring? If the frictionless inclined plane is now replaced with an otherwise identical plane except with a rough surface, the crate now stretches the spring by 12 cm from its equilibrium position. What is the coefficient of static friction? You can assume that the static friction is at its maximum value. 30°arrow_forward
