Question 13.56 (Please do problem 13.56 only.) A spring with free length 1.2m is attached to a collar of mass of 20kg. if the collar is released from at position A to slide down the smooth vertical rod shown. If the lowest position readed by the collar is A2, where b=2m, determine the modulus k of the spring.
A mass, m, is hung from an ideal spring (its length is equal to zero and no friction) and reaches equilibrium at position B when the spring has been stretched to the length l. The mass is then pulled to position C and released. The position C is of height h below the position B. The mass oscillates between positions A and C. [Neglect friction.] At which position, A, B, or C, is mass m located when the kinetic energy, gravitational potential energy, or elastic potential energy of the system is at a maximum? Explain the reason for each case.

The hanging mobile pictured above consists of two masses, m1 and m2, suspended from a uniform 10 cm long rod, which is in turn suspended from the ceiling at an angle of 70 as pictured above. The mass m1 is 0.02 kg, while the mass of the rod is mr = 0.01 kg. Assuming the mobile is in a state of static equilibrium, find the value of mass m2.
The mechanism shown consists of a crank (bar AB), a connecting rod (bar BC) and the piston C that slides on the smooth surface (without friction). The combustion of gasoline produces a force P on the piston and this is kept in equilibrium with the moment M applied in A. The length of the crank is 116 mm, the length of the connecting rod is 183 mm, the force P is 710 N and the angle theta is 0.56 radians. Determine the value of M in Nm.
