Imme The mass of the block depicted in the image is 1.24 kg. The spring has a spring constant of 79.5 N/m. The coefficient of static friction between the block and the floor is 0.500. Assume that the spring makes no contact with the floor and therefore friction only acts on the block. How far must the block and spring assembly be compressed to just barely overcome the force of static friction acting on the block? Report your result in meters.

When a 3.0-kg block is pushed against a massless spring of force constant constant 4.5103N/m , the spring is compressed 8.0 cm. The block is released, and it slides 2.0 m (from the point at which it is released) across a horizontal surface before friction stops it. What is the coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the surface?
Check Your Understanding Why would it hurt more if you snapped your hand with a ruler than with a loose spring, even if the displacement of each system is equal?
In a control system, an accelerometer consists of a 4.70-g object sliding on a calibrated horizontal rail. A low-mass spring attaches the object to a flange at one end of the rail. Grease on the rail makes static friction negligible, but rapidly damps out vibrations of the sliding object. When subject to a steady acceleration of 0.800g, the object should be at a location 0.500 cm away from its equilibrium position. Find the force constant of the spring required for the calibration to be correct.
When an 80.0-kg man stands on a pogo stick, the spring is compressed 0.120 m. (a) What is the force constant of the spring? (b) Will the spring be compressed more when he hops down the road?
An archer must exert a force of 345 N on the bowstring shown in Figure (a) such that the string makes an angle of ? = 40.0° with the vertical. If the applied force is replaced by a stretched spring as in Figure (b) and the spring is stretched 27.0 cm from its unstretched length, what is the spring constant?
A spring is attached to a block with a mass of 2.33 kg. The block is set on a rough horizonal surface, and you pull horizontally on the other end of the spring, steadily increasing the force. As soon as the spring stretches 0.126 m beyond its equilibrium length, you notice the block starts to move. If the spring constant is 75.8 N/m, what is the coefficient of static friction between the block and the surface?
To measure the static friction coefficient between a 1.40-kg block and a vertical wall, a spring (k = 770 N/m) is attached to the block, is pushed on the end in a direction perpendicular to the wall until the block does not slip downward (see figure). If the spring is compressed by 0.048 m, what is the coefficient of static friction?
HW Question: Two blocks are connected by a light string that passes over a frictionless pulley, as shown in the figure below. The block of mass m1 = 16.8 kg lies on a horizontal surface and is connected to a spring that has a spring constant k which is really not constant but varies according to the function k=c*x^2 [N/m], where c = 0.231 (constant) with appropriate units. In addition, there is a force of friction acting on m1, such that the coefficient of friction µ is also not constant: μ=bx [unitless], where b is a constant with appropriate units. (a) What are the units of b and c? (b) The system is released from rest when the spring is at its equilibrium length. If the hanging block of mass m2 = 8.45 kg falls a distance h = 1.51 m before it comes to rest, calculate the value of the constant b (don’t forget units). (c) How much work is done by conservative forces? How much work is done by non-conservative forces? (d) What is the net work done by all the forces? Hint: If you need to…
A light spring with force constant 3.80 N/m is compressed by 7.44 cm as it is held between a 0.259-kg block on the left and a 0.518-kg block on the right, both resting on a horizontal surface. The spring exerts a force on each block, tending to push them apart. The blocks are simultaneously released from rest. Find the acceleration with which each block starts to move, given that the coefficient of kinetic friction ? between each block and the surface is the following. Answer parts a-c.
The block in the figure below rests on a frictionless surface. Find its instantaneous acceleration when the spring on the left is compressed 4.47 cm while the spring on the right is stretched 12.1 cm. Each spring has a force constant of 1.09 103 N/m. magnitude: direction: to the right
Consider the figure above, where a rigid beam of negligible mass and 10 m long is supported by a cable attached to a spring. When NO block is hung from the beam, the length L (cable-spring) is equal to 5 m. Assume that immediately after block (weight of 260 N) is hung at the end of the beam the spring does not stretch, calculate the tension under this assumption. Using this tension find how much the spring stretches. Express the amount the spring is stretched in cm. k =8275 N/m.
A block of mass ? = 300 g is released from rest from the top of a frictionless ramp. At the bottom of the ramp, a spring with a force constant ? = 400 N/m is fixed, as shown in the figure. If the maximum compression of the spring is 10 cm, determine the angle θ
