A certain spring has a force constant k. (a) If two such identical springs are connected in parallel to each other as shown in part (a) of Figure 6-36, does the resulting double spring have an effective force constant that is greater than, less than, or equal to k? Explain. (b) If two of the original springs are connected as shown in part (b) of Figure 6-36, does the resulting double spring have an effective force constant that is greater than less than or equal to k? Explain.

Many of these dogs can pull weights two orders of magnitude greater than their own weight! Railsplitter, an American pit bull terrier, can pull a sled that has a total weight of 2215 lb along a horizontal surface. Suppose he pulls with a horizontal force of 3.50 103 N while friction is also working against the sled. If the magnitude of the net acceleration of the sled is 0.152 m/s2, find the value of the coefficient of kinetic friction, k, between the sled and the pulling surface. (The sled is normally on a set of rails.)arrow_forwardA 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_forward
- Problems 67. 70. 71. and 72 are grouped. A A block of mass M is placed on a frictionless plane. The plane is inclined at an angle , and the block is a distance d from its end. Of course, we would expect the block to slip down the plane. Suppose we revolve the incline around the vertical axis shown in Figure P6.67 instead. At what period of revolution will the block remain in place on the plane?
