The tension in a ligament in the human knee is approximately proportional to the extension of the ligament, if the extension is not too large. If a particular ligament has an effective spring constant of 160 N/mm as it is stretched, what is the tension in this ligament when it is stretched by 0.760 cm ? What is the maximum compression of the spring? The spring sends the block back to the left. How high does the block rise?

In building a house, carpenters use nails from a large box. The box is suspended from a spring twice dining the day to measure the usage of nails. At the beginning of the day, the spring stretches 50 cm. At the end of the day, the spring stretches 30 cm. What fraction or percentages of the nails have been used?
