A basket of negligible weight hangs from a vertical spring scale of force constant 1500 N/m. (a) If you suddenly put a 3.0 kg adobe brick in the basket, find the maximum distance that the spring will stretch. (b) If, instead, you release the brick from 1.0 m above the basket, by how much will the spring stretch at its maximum elongation?
A spring of unstreched length 25 cm is pulled in a horizontal direction with 150 N
force. Since we apply a force in a horizontal direction, the spring is stretched to 28
cm.
Now we suspend the spring from a hook in a vertical direction and attached a 15 kg
mass at the bottom.
How long my spring will stretch?
A spring with a spring constant of k = 15 N/mhas vertically from the ceiling. You attach a 2kg weight to the bottom of the spring. How far from its equilibrium position has the bottom of the spring stretched?

Take the following values : her femur length, l = 60cm, her femur area, A = 3.5cm2, Youngs modulus for her bone, Y = 1.2x1010 N/m2, and the rupture stress for her bone is σmax = 7.0 x 107 N/m2arrow_forwardDuring a circus act, one performer swings upside down hanging from a trapeze while holding another performer, also upside-down, by the calves. The legs (femurs) of the lower performer undergo deformation due to the upward force from the upper performer. If the upward force on the lower performer's legs is 3mg (three times her weight), how much do the bones (the femurs) in her upper legs stretch in meters? You may assume each bone is equivalent to a uniform rod 34 cm long and 1.75 cm in radius and the legs are massless, serving only to transmit the upward force on the torso.
