A cafeteria tray dispenser supports a stack of trays on a shelf that hangs from four identical spiral springs under tension, one near each corner of the shelf. Each tray is rectangular, 45.3 cm by 35.6 cm. 0.450 cm thick, and with mass 580 g. (a) Demonstrate that the top tray in the stack can always be at the same height above the floor, however many trays are in the dispenser, (b) Find the spring constant each spring should have for the dispenser to function in this convenient way. (c) Is any piece of data unnecessary for this determination?
A block of mass M rests on a table. It is fastened to the lower end of a light, vertical spring. The upper end of the spring is fastened to a block of mass m. The upper block is pushed down by an additional force 3mg, so the spring compression is 4mg/k. In this configuration, the upper block is released from rest. The spring lifts the lower block off the table. In terms of m, what is the greatest possible value for m?
One type of toy car contains a spring that is compressed as the wheels are rolled backward along a surface. The spring remains compressed until the wheels are freed and the car is allowed to roll forward. Jose learns that if he rolls the car backward for a greater distance (up to a certain point), the car will go faster when he releases it. The spring compresses 1.00 cm for every 10.0 cm the car is rolled backward. a. Assuming the spring constant is 150.0 N/m, what is the elastic potential energy stored in the spring when Jose rolls the car backward 20.0 cm? b. What is the elastic potential energy stored in the spring when he rolls the car backward 30.0 cm? c. Explain the correlation between the results for parts (a) and (b) and Joses observations of different speeds.
Figure 15.46 This child’s toy relies on springs to keep infants entertained. (credit: By Humboldthead, Flickr) The device pictured in Figure 16.46 entertains infants while keeping them from wandering. The child bounces in a harness suspended from a door frame by a spring constant. (a) If the spring stretches 0.250 m while supporting an 8.0—kg child, what is its spring constant? (b) What is the time for one complete bounce of this child? (c) What is the child's maximum velocity if the amplitude of her bounce is 0.200 m?
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.
The position of a particle attached to a vertical spring is given by y=(y0cost)j. The y axis points upward, y0 = 14.5 cm. and = 18.85 rad/s. Find the position of the particle at a. t = 0 and b. t = 9.0 s. Give your answers in centimeters.
A horizontal spring attached to a wall has a force constant of 850 N/m. A block of mass 1.00 kg is attached to the spring and oscillates freely on a horizontal, frictionless surface as in Figure 5.22. The initial goal of this problem is to find the velocity at the equilibrium point after the block is released. (a) What objects constitute the system, and through what forces do they interact? (b) What are the two points of interest? (c) Find the energy stored in the spring when the mass is stretched 6.00 cm from equilibrium and again when the mass passes through equilibrium after being released from rest. (d) Write the conservation of energy equation for this situation and solve it for the speed of the mass as it passes equilibrium. Substitute to obtain a numerical value. (e) What is the speed at the halfway point? Why isnt it half the speed at equilibrium?

A 75.0-kg firefighter slides down a pole while a constant friction force of 300 N retards her motion. A horizontal 20.0-kg platform is supported by a spring at the bottom of the pole to cushion the fall. The firefighter starts from rest 4.00 m above the platform, and the spring constant is 4 000 N/m. Find (a) the firefighters speed just before she collides with the platform and (b) the maximum distance the spring is compressed. Assume the friction force acts during the entire motion.
