A particle of mass m is at rest at the end of a spring (force constant = k) hanging from a fixed support. At t = 0, a constant downward force F is applied to the mass and acts for a time t0. Show that, after the force is removed, the displacement of the mass from its equilibrium position (x = x0, where x is down) is where
Consider a block of mass 0.200 kg attached to a spring of spring constant 100 N/m. The block is placed on a frictionless table, and the other end of the spring is attached to the wall so that the spring is level with the table. The block is then pushed in so that the spring is compressed by 10.0 cm. Find the speed of the block as it crosses (a) the point when the spring is not stretched, (b) 5.00 cm to the left of point in (a), and (c) 5.00 cm to the right of point in (a).

Consider a linear spring, as in Figure 7.7(a), with mass M uniformly distributed along its length.

(Hint: First express the kinetic energy of an infinitesimal element of the spring dm in terms of the total mass, equilibrium length, speed of the right-hand end, and position along the spring; then integrate.)
