Two blocks are connected by a light string that passes over two frictionless pulleys as in Figure P5.24. The block of mass m2 is attached to a spring of force constant k and m1 > m2. If the system is released from rest, and the spring is initially not stretched or compressed, find an expression for the maximum displacement d of m2.

- A particle moves in a medium under the influence of a retarding force equal to mk(υ3+ a2υ), where k and a are constants. Show that for any value of the initial speed the particle will never move a distance greater than π/2kaand that the particle comes to rest only for t → ∞.arrow_forwardYou smuggle your bathroom scale on an amusment park roller coaster. At the top of a 16 m radius loop, you look down and note that you weigh 3 times your normal weight. At the bottom of the loop, you are gently brought to temporary rest by a spring that compresses 30 m before launching you around the loop backwards.

- A 1520-N crate is to be held in place on a ramp that rises at 30.0° above the horizontal (see figure). The massless rope attached to the crate makes a 22.0° angle above the surface of the ramp. The coefficients of friction between the crate and the surface of the ramp are uk = 0.450 and us = 0.650. The pulley has no appreciable mass or friction.

Qarrow_forwardYou decide to launch a rockof mass m1 using a tube containing a spring of spring constant k. When the spring is at equilibrium, it fills the entire tube. To launch a rock, you push it into the tube, compressing the spring a distance d, at which point a locking mechanism holds the spring(and the rock) in place. When the lockis released, the spring pushes the rock to the end of the tube where it will be launched into the air. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the rock and the inside surface of the tube is given by μk. You setup the launcher at an angle q above the horizontal with the spring end buried such that when the spring is compressed and locked, the rock is at ground level. a)Find the work done on the rock by non-conservative forces as it moves from the point of release to the end of the tube. Express your answer in terms of μk, m1, q, d, and any necessaryconstants. b) Find the velocity of the rockvfas it exits the launch tube in terms of μk, k, m1, q, d, and any…arrow_forward
- Please solve and answer the question correctly. Thank you!arrow_forwardTruck suspensions often have “helper springs” that engage athigh loads. One such arrangement is a leaf spring with a helpercoil spring mounted on the axle, as shown in Figure P5.26.When the main leaf spring is compressed by distance y0, thehelper spring engages and then helps to support any additionalload. Suppose the leaf spring constant is 5.25 x 105 N/m, thehelper spring constant is 3.60 x 105 N/m, and y0 = 0.500 m. (a) What is the compression of the leaf spring for a load of5.00 x 105 N? (b) How much work is done in compressingthe springs?arrow_forwardWhile walking on water, an arctic wind freezes the water beneath your feet and you now find yourself stuck in the middle of a 15m diameter lake on top of a frictionless layer of ice.
