A block of mass m = 2.00 kg is attached to a spring of force constant k = 500 N/m as shown in Figure P7.15. The block is pulled to a position xi = 5.00 cm to the right of equilibrium and released from rest.

A vibration sensor, used in testing a washing machine, consists of a cube of aluminum 1.50 cm on edge mounted on one end of a strip of spring steel (like a hacksaw blade) that lies in a vertical plane. The strips mass is small compared with that of the cube, but the strips length is large compared with the size of the cube. The other end of the strip is clamped to the frame of the washing machine that is not operating. A horizontal force of 1.43 N applied to the cube is required to hold it 2.75 cm away from its equilibrium position. If it is released, what is its frequency of vibration?
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?
A mass m=0.850 kg is fastened to an unstrained horizontal spring whose spring constant is k=80.0 N/m. The mass is given a displacement of 0.140m (along the x-axis) and then released from rest. What would be a general equation for the displacement, speed, and acceleration of the block at any given time?
