Chapter 12, Problem 14OQ
You attach a block to the bottom end of a spring hanging vertically. You slowly let the block move down and find that it hangs at rest with the spring stretched by 15.0 cm. Next, you lift the block back up to the initial position and release it from rest with the spring unstretched. What maximum distance does it move down? (a) 7.5 cm (b) 15.0 cm (c) 30.0 cm (d) 60.0 cm (e) The distance cannot be determined without knowing the mass and spring constant.

A child’s toy consists of plastic attached to a spring. The spring is compressed against the floor at a distance of 2.69 cm, and the toy is released. The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s2.
If the toy has a mass of 115 g and rises to a maximum height of 64.5 cm, estimate the force constant of the spring in N/m.
A 1.70-kg mass is attached to a vertical spring with spring constant, k=93.0 N/m and allowed to stretch to its equilibrium position.
It is then pulled down an additional 10.0 cm and released.
How long does it take to move from 10.0 cm back thru its equilibrium position?
Give your answer in seconds to 3 decimal places.
