Document Summary
Phya10 practical week 11: a 2. 0 kg bucket is attached to a horizontal ideal spring and rests on frictionless ice. If no, why not: you should have access to a mass attached to a vertical spring. This activity examines the system rst from the perspective of forces, and secondly from the perspective of energy. (a) take the mass o the spring. This position (x0) is the spring"s equilibrium position. Put the mass back on the spring but keep the spring at the same position. What does the free body diagram look like? (don"t forget to include your hand. ) When you let go of the mass, what happens? (b) gently raise/lower the mass until it"s at a position where it will stay at rest. This position (y0) is the equilibrium position of the system which includes both the mass and the spring.
