**13. A 30.0-kg block is rest- ing on a flat horizontal table. On top of this block is resting a 15.0-kg block, to which a horizontal spring is attached, as the drawing illustrates. The spring constant of the spring is 325 N/m. The coefficient 15.0 kg 30.0 kg of kinetic friction between the lower block and the table is 0.600, and the coefficient of static friction between the two blocks is 0.900. A horizontal force F is applied to the lower block as shown. This force is increasing in such a way as to keep the blocks moving at a con- stant speed. At the point where the upper block begins to slip on the lower block, determine (a) the amount by which the spring is compressed and (b) the magnitude of the force F.

A scene in a movie has a stuntman falling through a floor onto a bed in the room below. The plan is to have the actor fall on his back, but a researcher has been hired to investigate the safety of this stunt. When the researcher examines the mattress, she sees that it effectively has a spring constant of 77144 N/m77144 N/m for the area likely to be impacted by the stuntman, but it cannot depress more than 13.33 cm13.33 cm without injuring him. To approach this problem, consider a simplified version of the situation. A mass falls through a height of 3.92 m3.92 m before landing on a spring of force constant 77144 N/m.77144 N/m. Calculate the maximum mass that can fall on the mattress without exceeding the maximum compression distance. maximum mass: Based on this crude measurement, is the stunt safe using the proposed mattress? yes no cannot determine
