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?
Use the data in Table P16.59 for a block of mass m = 0.250 kg and assume friction is negligible. a. Write an expression for the force FH exerted by the spring on the block. b. Sketch FH versus t.
A spring 1.50 m long with force constant 475 N/m is hung from the ceiling of an elevator, and a block of mass 10.0 kg is attached to the bottom of the spring. (a) By how much is the spring stretched when the block is slowly lowered to its equilibrium point? (b) If the elevator subsequently accelerates upward at 2.00 m/s2, what is the position of the block, taking the equilibrium position found in part (a) as y = 0 and upwards as the positive y-direction. (c) If the elevator cable snaps during the acceleration, describe the subsequent motion of the block relative to the freely falling elevator. What is the amplitude of its motion?
A lightweight spring with spring constant k = 225 N/m is attached to a block of mass m1 = 4.50 kg on a frictionless, horizontal table. The blockspring system is initially in the equilibrium configuration. A second block of mass m2 = 3.00 kg is then pushed against the first block, compressing the spring by x = 15.0 cm as in Figure P16.77A. When the force on the second block is removed, the spring pushes both blocks to the right. The block m2 loses contact with the springblock 1 system when the blocks reach the equilibrium configuration of the spring (Fig. P16.77B). a. What is the subsequent speed of block 2? b. Compare the speed of block 1 when it again passes through the equilibrium position with the speed of block 2 found in part (a). 77. (a) The energy of the system initially is entirely potential energy. E0=U0=12kymax2=12(225N/m)(0.150m)2=2.53J At the equilibrium position, the total energy is the total kinetic energy of both blocks: 12(m1+m2)v2=12(4.50kg+3.00kg)v2=(3.75kg)v2=2.53J Therefore, the speed of each block is v=2.53J3.75kg=0.822m/s (b) Once the second block loses contact, the first block is moving at the speed found in part (a) at the equilibrium position. The energy 01 this spring-block 1 system is conserved, so when it returns to the equilibrium position, it will be traveling at the same speed in the opposite direction, or v=0.822m/s. FIGURE P16.77

A 69.5 kg bungee jumper is standing on a tall platform (h0 = 53 m), as seen in the photo. The bungee cord has an untrained length of L0 = 10 m, and when stretched, behaves like an ideal spring with a spring constant of k = 64.0 N/m. The jumper falls from rest, and the only forces acting on him are his weight and, for the latter part of the descent, the elastic force of the bungee cord (Assume the cord is attached at the center of mass and the center of mass drops from rest from the height of the platform.) What is his maximum speed during the fall? _______ m/s How high above the water is he when he reaches this speed? _______ m How high above the water is he when he reaches the lowest point in the fall? _______ m
A mass of 0.75 kg is attached to a relaxed sprig with k= 2.5 N/m. The mass rests on a horizontal, frictionless surface. If the mads is displaced by 0.33 m, what is the magnitude of the force exerted on the mass by the spring?
