A certain uniform spring has a spring constant k. Now the spring is cut in half. What is the relationship between k and the spring constant k' of each resulting spring? Explain your reasoning.
A light spring with spring constant k1 is hung from elevated support. From its lower end, a second light spring is hung, which has spring constant k2. An object of mass m is hung at rest from the lower end of the second spring,ย
(a) What is the total extension distance of the pair of springs?
(b) What is the effective spring constant k of the two-spring system?
A light spring of spring constant k = 160 N/m rests vertically on the bottom of a large beaker of water. A 5.00 kg block of wood (density D = 700 kg/m3) is connected to the spring, and the block ? spring system is allowed to come to a static equilibrium. What is the elongation ?L of the spring?
