Q4) In the figure shown to the right, in the absence of gravity the springs are
unstretched in the equilibrium position. (i) Determine the deflection of each
spring from its unstretched length when the system shown is in equilibrium. If
the system is released from the unstretched position of the springs, what is the

Block A rests on a horizontal tabletop. A light horizontal rope is
attached to it and passes over a pulley, and block B is suspended
from the free end of the rope. The light rope that connects the two
blocks does not slip over the surface of the pulley (radius 0.080 m)
because the pulley rotates on a frictionless axle. The horizontal
surface on which block A (mass 2.50 kg) moves is frictionless. The
system is released from rest, and block B (mass 5.00 kg) moves
downward 1.80 m in 2.00 s. A)What is the tension force that the rope
exerts on block B ?B)What is the tension force that the rope exerts
on block A ?

A lump of clay with mass 0.35 kg falls and sticks to one of the balls at the location shown, when the spoke attached to that ball is at 45 degrees to the horizontal.

The spring is attached to a cord that is fastened to point B on the 75-mm radius pulley.

The combined mass moment of inertia of all the rotating components about point O is 0.40 kg·m2. The swing is timed perfectly to strike a 145-gram baseball travelling with a speed of V0 = 10 m/s at a distance of h = 0.7 m away from point O.
