The distance a spring stretches from its “free length” is a function of how much tension is applied to it. The following table gives the spring length y that was produced in a particular spring by the given applied force f. The spring’s free length is 4.7 in. Find a functional relation between f and x, the extension from the free length (y = y − 4.7).

The first floor is attached rigidly to the ground, and the second floor is of mass m = 1000 slugs (fps units) and weighs 16 tons (32,000 lb). The elastic frame of the building behaves as a spring that resists horizontal displacements of the second floor; it requires a horizontal force of 5 tons to displace the second floor a distance of 1 ft.
