A computer is protected against impact by foam packaging (spring stiffness, k = 100 N/cm; mass, m = 11 kg, including packaging). The maximum acceleration that the computer can withstand on impact with a hard surface is 4g. At the maximum acceptable impact acceleration, how much does the packaging compress upon impact? Give the answer in cm. What is the maximum height, h, in cm that the case can fall from without damaging the computer?

A windmill turns a series of slender rods fixed about one end . They are initially 2 meters long, and go at a speed of 15 revolutions per minute. I suggested making the blades 1m long to reduce the cross-sectional area of the windmill, keeping the mass the same for mechanical stress consistency. How fast are the windmill blades going now, in revolutions per minute?

Snow storms can be detrimental to homes because of the weight of the snow can be heavy enough to overload the roof which are designed to withstand a pressure of 20 lb/in2. You are concerned about a meteorologist’s prediction for 24 inches of snow, and scratch a quick calculation for your parent’s 60 °ø 100ft2 roof, using the density of wind packed snow as 400 kg/m3. What is the total weight of the rooftop snow in tons? Does this situation produce a snow load that exceeds design limits?
Let’s look at a simplified model of a car that’s dropped onto the ground. Model the suspension as a single linear spring and the rest of the vehicle as a single lumped mass. The car is dropped from a height of h1 = 0.9m. What is the maximum mass m for which the suspension does not bottom out? Assume a maximal allowable suspension travel of 10 cm and a spring constant of k = 2.4x10^6 N/m.

In the above problem, if you were given another 20-gram mass, (a) where do you hang it on left side, (b) where do you hang it on right side to keep the meterstick balance. If you can't, then justify your answer.

This exercise is part of a series of problems aimed at modeling a situation by progressively refining our model to take into account more and more parameters. This progressive approach is very close to whatwhat do professional scientists do! contextWe want to lower a suspended load in a controlled way, so that it hits the ground with a speed whose modulus is not too great. To slow down the descent, we added a resort behind the mass (A), Lasuspended load (B) is connected by a rope passing through a pulley to another mass (A), which slides on a horizontal surface with friction.InformationThe masses of loads A and B are known.The mass of the rope itself is negligible (very small compared to the loads).The pulley has negligible mass and can rotate without friction.Load B is initially stationary and is at a known height h.The surface on which mass A is placed is horizontal.There is friction under mass A: the kinetic friction coefficient u, is known.The rope attached to mass A is perfectly…
