One end of a light spring with spring constant k, = 1,200 N/m is attached to the ceiling. A second light spring is attached to the lower end, with spring constant k, = 1,600 N/m. An object of mass 1.50 kg is attached to the lower end of the second spring. (a) By how much does the pair of springs stretch (in m)? (b) What is the effective spring constant (in N/m) of the spring system? N/m (c) What If? Two identical light springs with spring constant 800 N/m are now individually hung vertically from the ceiling and attached at each end of a symmetric object, such as a rectangular block with uniform mass density. In this case, with the springs next to each other, we describe them as being in parallel. Find the effective spring constant (in N/m) of the pair of springs as a system in this situation. N/m

A block with mass m1 = 8.7 kg is on an incline with an angle θ = 37° with respect to the horizontal. For the first question there is no friction, but for the rest of this problem the coefficients of friction are: μk = 0.36 and μs = 0.396. To keep the mass from accelerating, a spring is attached. What is the minimum spring constant of the spring to keep the block from sliding if it extends x = 0.17 m from its unstretched length?
The cable of a 1800 kg elevator snaps when the elevator is at rest on the first floor. The elevator cab is d = 3.7 m above a spring of spring constant 0.15 MN/m (M = 106). A safety device clamps the cab against guide rails so that a constant frictional force of 4.4 kN (k = 1,000) opposes the cab's motion. Determine the maximum distance the spring is compressed (the friction force still acts during this compression). Use g = 9.8 N/kg.
A huge pendulum consists of a 200-kg ball at the end of a cable 15 m long. If the pendulum is drawn back to an angle of 37 degrees and released, what maximum force must the cable withstand as the pendulum swings back and forth?
