A 690 gram block is released from a height h0 above the top of an ideal spring of spring constant 400 N/m which is attached to the floor, facing upward. The block sticks to the spring, and comes momentarily to rest after compressing the spring by 18.4 cm.(a) What is the value of the initial height h0? m(b) The spring expands with the block attached (that is---it does NOT go flying off the end of the spring and return to it's original height). What is the height of the block when it again comes to rest momentarily (defined, as in part (a), as the height above the top of the spring, were the spring unloaded and in equilibrium)? m
A sphere of mass 7 kg is dropped fro rest from a height oh 2.8 m above the top of a spring of spring constant 1180 N/m mounted vertically on the floor . What will be the maximum compression in the spring?
The spring has a stiffness k= 50 lb/ft and an unstretched length of 2 ft. As
shown, it is confined by the plate and wall using cables so that its length is 1.5
ft. A 4-lb block is given a speed VA
incline having a coefficient of kinetic friction u, = 0.2. If it strikes the plate and
pushes it forward 0.25 ft before stopping, determine its speed at A. Neglect the
mass of the plate and spring.
