Problem #1 A student pushes the 1.25 kg block in the figure below against a horizontal spring, compressing it by 0.175 m. k Xmax ! m v₁=0 y = 0 The left end of a horizontal spring is attached to a vertical wall, and when released, the block travels across a horizontal surface and up an incline. Neglecting friction, find the block's maximum height (in m) if the spring constant is k = 645 N/m. (The acceleration of gravity is g = 9.80 m/s².)

5. There are two masses with unequal weight. The masses are tied by a rope and they are connected over two pulleys as shown in Figure 1. When the system is released, heavier mass accelerates downward and lighter accelerates upward. Assume frictionless pulleys, find the theoretical tension of the thread and the theoretical acceleration. Masses are M1= 6.00 kg and M2= 2.00 kg. Two discs are allowed to move on inclined air table with dimensions a= 11cm, b=17cm, c=60cm. (Hint: You can use free body diagram and M1 b Newton' W.B. M2 s second law of a motion equation (F=m.a) to solve tension, g=980cm/s?.)
A 25.5 kg mass (m) is suspended by the cable assembly as shown in the figure. The cables have no mass of their own. The cable to the left (T) ) of the mass makes an angle of 0.00 with the horizontal, and the cable to the right (T;) makes an angle (02) of 40.6. If the mass is at rest, what is the tension in each of the cables, T and T; ? The acceleration due to gravity is g = 9.81 m/s?. T T = 123.52 N 123.52 TOOLS x10

Problem A block with a mass of 15 kg sits on the smooth incline shown below where the angle is e = 37°. The block is attached to the wall via a spring with a spring constant of k = 246 N/m. The coordinate system for this problem is oriented as shown in the diagram. Based on this information, answer the following: a) Determine the distance the spring must stretch to offset the weight component of the block in the x-direction (this is where your x-direction datum will be located). b) Create a free body diagram and use the force balance in the x-direction to develop the second-order ordinary differential equation governing the motion of the block (your force balance should be based upon the datum found in part a). c) Find the natural frequency (wn), the period of vibration (T), and the frequency (f). d) For an undamped, freely vibrating system the solution to the second-order ordinary differential equation developed in part b has the form x(t) = Asin(wnt) + Bcos(wnt).

An electric elevator with a motor at the top has a multistrand cable weighing 8.4 lb/ft. When the car is on the first floor 270 feet of cable are paid out, and effectively 0 feet when the car is on the top floor.

The figure on the left, below, shows a non-uniform bent rod with a mass of 5 kg. Your job is to determine the location of the center of gravity of this rod. You design an experiment: you connect a pin and cable to the rod such that it safely stays in static equilibrium under a force P that you apply. Then, you apply forces between 0-100 N, and measure the tension force on the cable using a cable tension meter. The results of your experiment are shown in the figure, on the right. Using this experiment, calculate (approximately) the horizontal distance (x in the figure) between point A and the center of gravity G of the bent rod.
