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?
A spring 1.50 m long with force constant 475 N/m is hung from the ceiling of an elevator, and a block of mass 10.0 kg is attached to the bottom of the spring. (a) By how much is the spring stretched when the block is slowly lowered to its equilibrium point? (b) If the elevator subsequently accelerates upward at 2.00 m/s2, what is the position of the block, taking the equilibrium position found in part (a) as y = 0 and upwards as the positive y-direction. (c) If the elevator cable snaps during the acceleration, describe the subsequent motion of the block relative to the freely falling elevator. What is the amplitude of its motion?

A block with mass m =6.3 kg is hung from a vertical spring. When the mass hangs in equilibrium, the spring stretches x = 0.24 m.
