Consider a spring with a spring constant of 180 N/m hanging vertically from the ceiling. If a 8 kg mass is attached, how much lower will the end of the spring be (in m) when it reaches its new equilibrium position? Assume the spring does not break or deform and use a gravitational acceleration of 9.8 m/s^2 in your calculations. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.

A student working on a school project modeled a trampoline as a spring obeying Hookes law and measured the spring constant of a certain trampoline as 4617 N/m. If a child of mass 27.0 kg compresses the trampoline vertically by a maximum of 0.25 m, while bouncing up and down, what is the childs acceleration at the moment of maximum compression?
A particle of mass m is at rest at the end of a spring (force constant = k) hanging from a fixed support. At t = 0, a constant downward force F is applied to the mass and acts for a time t0. Show that, after the force is removed, the displacement of the mass from its equilibrium position (x = x0, where x is down) is where

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?

Check Your Understanding An engineer builds two simple pendulums. Both are suspended from small wires secured to the ceiling of a room. Each pendulum hovers 2 cm above the floor. Pendulum 1 has a bob with a mass of 10 kg. Pendulum 2 has a bob with a mass of 100 kg. Describe how the motion of the pendulums will differ if the bobs are both displaced by 12°.
