The masses of the rope, spring balance, and pulley are negligible. Nick’s feet are not touching the ground. (a) Assume Nick is momentarily at rest when he stops pulling down on the rope and passes the end of the rope to another child, of weight 440 N, who is standing on the ground next to him. The rope does not break. Describe the ensuing motion. (b) Instead, assume Nick is momentarily at rest when he ties the end of the rope to a strong hook projecting from the tree trunk. Explain why this action can make the rope break.
Given: F = force of weight = m g m = mass g = grav. acceleration FS = force on a spring = k x x = distance a spring stretches k = spring constant (unknown) Observation: When a known mass of m1 is suspended from the bottom of a particular spring, exerting a measured force of F1, the spring stretches a measured distance of x1. Question: If a second known mass, m2 is added to the first mass at the bottom of the spring (so that both masses are hanging from the spring at the same time), which of the following equations will identify the new distance the spring will stretch? (Hint: Will it be more or less than the old distance?) x2 = x1 m1 / ( m1 + m2 ) x2 = x1 ( m1 + m2 ) / m1 x2 = ( ( m2 + m1 ) k / g x2 = m1 m2 / ( F1 k )
A 6.0 kg mass hanging from a spring scale is slowly lowered onto a vertical spring. A) What does the spring scale read just before the mass touches the vertical spring? B) The spring scale reads 15 N when the bottom spring is compressed 2.0 cm. What is the spring constant of the bottom scale? C) Draw a free body diagram for the mass representing the previous situation. D) How compressed will the bottom scale be when the spring scale reads 0 N?
Two blocks are connected by a light string that passes over two frictionless pulleys as in the figure below. The block of mass m2 is attached to a spring of force constant k and m1 > m2. If the system is released from rest, and the spring is initially not stretched or compressed, find an expression for the maximum displacement d of m2. (Use any variable or symbol stated above along with the following as necessary: g.)

Your relative from abroad sent your family a balikbayan box. Since you know that the laws of motion will help you move the box easily, you volunteered to bring it inside your house. You have two options: (a) pulling the box from a rope that makes an angle with the surface or (b) by pushing the box with a force that makes the same angle (but pointing downwards) with the surface. Which choice will you choose? Will the angle matter?

You have a new internship, where you are helping to design a new freight yard for the train station in your city. There will be a number of dead-end sidings where single cars can be stored until they are needed. To keep the cars from running off the tracks at the end of the siding, you have designed a combination of two coiled springs as illustrated in Figure P7.41. When a car moves to the right in the figure and strikes the springs, they exert a force to the left on the car to slow it down. Both springs are described by Hookes law and have spring constants k1 = 1 600 N/m and k2 = 3 400 N/m. After the first spring compresses by a distance of d = 30.0 cm, the second spring acts with the first to increase the force to the left on the car in Figure P7.41. When the spring with spring constant k2 compresses by 50.0 cm, the coils of both springs are pressed together, so that the springs can no longer compress. A typical car on the siding has a mass of 6 000 kg. When you present your design to your supervisor, he asks you for the maximum speed that a car can have and be stopped by your device. Figure P7.41

Two objects with masses of 3.00 kg and 5.00 kg are connected by a light string that passes over a light frictionless pulley to form an Atwood machine as shown in Active Figure 4.12a. Determine (a) the tension in the string, (b) the acceleration of each object, and (c) the distance each object will move in the first second of motion if they start from rest.
