Chapter 9, Problem 12CQ
12. The left end of a spring is attached to a wall. When Bob pulls on the right end with a 200 N Force, he stretches the spring by 20 cm. The same spring is then used for a tug-of-war between Bob and Carlos. Each pulls on his end of the spring with a 200 N force. How far does the spring stretch? Explain.

6. A spring (k = 830 N/m) is hanging from the ceiling of an elevator, and
a 5.0-kg object is attached to the lower end. By how much does the spring
stretch (relative to its unstrained length) when the elevator is accelerating
upward at a = 0.60 m/s²?
*10. Go Review Conceptual Example 2 as an
aid in solving this problem. An object is at-
tached to the lower end of a 100-coil spring
that is hanging from the ceiling. The spring
stretches by 0.160 m. The spring is then cut
into two identical springs of 50 coils each. As
the drawing shows, each spring is attached
between the ceiling and the object. By how
much does each spring stretch?

13. Three students have a discussion about a lab activity they completed in class
regarding hanging a mass from a spring.
Student A: "If I want the spring to stretch twice as far I would use a spring with twice the
spring constant, since I will get twice the force for the same mass.'
Student B: "If I want the spring to stretch twice as far I would use a spring with half the
spring constant. That spring would need to stretch twice as far to be in equilibrium with
the weight of the mass."
Student C: "If I want the spring to stretch twice as far, I have to double the weight
hanging from it. Changing the spring constant has no effect on how much the spring
stretches."
a) With which student, if any, do you agree? b) Carefully explain your reasoning.
