Two blocks are connected by a light string that passes over two frictionless pulleys as in Figure P5.24. The block of mass m2 is attached to a spring of force constant k and m1 m2. If the system is released from rest, and the spring is initially not stretched or compressed, find an expression for the maximum displacement d of m2. Figure P5.24
Why is the following situation impossible? In a new casino, a supersized pinball machine is introduced. Casino advertising boasts that a professional basketball player can lie on top of the machine and his head and feet will not hang off the edge! The hall launcher in the machine sends metal halls up one side of the machine and then into play. The spring in the launcher (Fig. P7.44) has a force constant of 1.20 N/cm. The surface on which the ball moves is inclined = 10.0 with respect to the horizontal. The spring is initially compressed its maximum distance d = 5.00 cm. A ball of mass 100 g is projected into play by releasing the plunger. Casino visitors find the play of the giant machine quite exciting. Figure P7.44
A toy cannon uses a spring to project a 5.30-g soft rubber ball. The spring is originally compressed by 5.00 cm and has a force constant of 8.00 N/m. When the cannon is fired, the ball moves 15.0 cm through the horizontal barrel of the cannon, and the barrel exerts a constant friction force of 0.032 0 N on the ball. (a) With what speed does the projectile leave the barrel of the cannon? (b) At what point does the hall have maximum speed? (c) What is this maximum speed?

You have a new internship, where you are helping to design a new freight yard for the train station in your city. There will be a number of dead-end sidings where single cars can be stored until they are needed. To keep the cars from running off the tracks at the end of the siding, you have designed a combination of two coiled springs as illustrated in Figure P7.41. When a car moves to the right in the figure and strikes the springs, they exert a force to the left on the car to slow it down. Both springs are described by Hookes law and have spring constants k1 = 1 600 N/m and k2 = 3 400 N/m. After the first spring compresses by a distance of d = 30.0 cm, the second spring acts with the first to increase the force to the left on the car in Figure P7.41. When the spring with spring constant k2 compresses by 50.0 cm, the coils of both springs are pressed together, so that the springs can no longer compress. A typical car on the siding has a mass of 6 000 kg. When you present your design to your supervisor, he asks you for the maximum speed that a car can have and be stopped by your device. Figure P7.41
In a needle biopsy, a narrow strip of tissue is extracted from a patient with a hollow needle. Rather than being pushed by hand, to ensure a clean cut the needle can be fired into the patients body by a spring. Assume the needle has mass 5.60 g, the light spring has force constant 375 N/m, and the spring is originally compressed 8.10 cm to project the needle horizontally without friction. The tip of the needle then moves through 2.40 cm of skin and soft tissue, which exerts a resistive force of 7.60 N on it. Next, the needle cuts 3.50 cm into an organ, which exerts a backward force of 9.20 N on it. Find (a) the maximum speed of the needle and (b) the speed at which a flange on the back end of the needle runs into a stop, set to limit the penetration to 5.90 cm.
A 0.250-kg block along a horizontal track has a speed of 1.50 m/s immediately before colliding with a light spring of force constant 4.60 N/m located at the end of the track. (a) What is the springs maximum compression if the track is frictionless? (b) If the track is not frictionless, would the springs maximum compression be greater than, less than, or equal to the value obtained in part (a)?

Integrated Concepts A toy gun uses a spring with a force constant of 300 N/m to propel a 10.0-g steel ball. If the spring is compressed 7.00 cm and friction is negligible: (a) How much force is needed to compress the spring? (b) To what maximum height can the ball be shot? (c) At what angles above the horizontal may a child aim to hit a target 3.00 m away at the same height as the gun? (d) What is the gun's maximum range on level ground?
