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?
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 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?
The force required to compress a non-standard spring as a function of displacement from equilibrium x is given by the equation F(x) = ax2 - bx, where a = 55 N/m2, b = 8 N/m, and the positive x direction is in the compression direction of the spring.
A spring with a spring constant of k = 192 N/m is initially compressed by a block a distance d = 0.23 m. The block is on a horizontal surface with coefficient of kinetic friction μk, static friction μs, and has a mass of m = 7 kg. How large would the coefficient of static friction μs need to be to keep the block from moving? Recall that to keep the block from moving, the acceleration is zero. Assuming the block has just begun to move and the coefficient of kinetic friction is μk = 0.2, what is the block's acceleration in meters per square second?
