Problem 2: An object of mass M is hanging from a spring (with I_o =0 and a springconstant k). There is a constant force from the wind, F_wind, blowing to the right,so the mass is initially at rest, but hanging at an angle Theta from the verticalbecause of the presence of the wind. Suddenly, spring breaks, and the mass dropsunder the influence of F_wind (note F_air and F_wind are the same constantvector!) and its weight. If the object (in equilibrium before the spring breaks) is aheight H above the ground, how far laterally (in the direction of the wind) does theobject hit the ground, L (given theta, k, M, g, H)?

A block of mass ?=3.80 kg slides along a horizontal table with velocity ?0=1.50 m/s. At ?=0, it hits a spring with spring constant ?=41.00 N/m and it also begins to experience a friction force. The coefficient of friction is given by ?=0.400. How far has the spring compressed by the time the block first momentarily comes to rest? Assume the positive direction is to the right.

A block of mass m2 = 10.0 kg, at rest on a horizontal surface that has negligible friction, is connected to a spring which is initially not stretched or compressed. The other end of the spring is fixed to a wall, and the spring constant is k = 90 N/m. Another block of mass m1 = 14.0 kg and speed v1 = 3.2 m/s collides with the 10.0 kg block. The blocks stick together, and compress the spring. What is the maximum compression of the spring?
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?

( ANSWER e,f, and g ), a is given ) You have two equal masses m1 and m2 and a spring with a spring constant k. The mass m1 is connected to the spring and placed on a frictionless horizontal surface at the relaxed position of the spring. You then hang mass m2, connected to mass m1 by a massless cord, over a pulley at the edge of the horizontal surface. When the entire system comes to rest in the equilibrium position, the spring is stretched an amount d1 as shown in figure (a). You are given the following information. ( ANSWER E,F, and G ), A is given ) The mass m1 = m2 = 0.500 kg.The spring constant k = 290 N/m. (a) Determine the amount the spring is stretched (d1) when m2 is attached to m1. d1 = 0.01689 m Correct: Your answer is correct. You now pull the mass m2 down a distance d2 = 4 cm and release it from rest, as shown in figure (b). Determine the following as the two masses travel the distance d2 back to their equilibrium positions. (The masses will overshoot the equilibrium…

A mass m=0.850 kg is fastened to an unstrained horizontal spring whose spring constant is k=80.0 N/m. The mass is given a displacement of 0.140m (along the x-axis) and then released from rest.

A spring with a spring constant of 301 N/m is initially compressed by a distance of 0.065 m from its equilibrium position. A mass of 0.047 kg is then held against the compressed spring and released from rest while upon a horizontal, frictionless surface. Assuming that the spring then pushes the mass across the surface, with speed does the mass leave the spring? Assume proper SI Units.
