The anchor rope of a sailboat is a nylon rope of length 60 m
and diameter 1.3 cm.While anchored during a storm, the
sailboat momentarily pulls on this rope with a force of 1.8
104 N. How much does the rope stretch?
An ornament of mass 40.6 g is attached to a vertical ideal spring with a force constant (spring constant) of 45.6 N/m. The
ornament is then lowered very slowly until the spring stops stretching.
