Document Summary

Chapter 3: mechanical objects [spring force, circular motion] Consider a spring with no weight is attached. The end point of the spacing is located at x=0. Its end point is extended to distance x. Hooke"s law: the spring force actin on the ball is equal to a spring constant times the distance the spring is distorted (x) Direction: the force is directed opposite the displacement (x). Hanging grocery scale has a spring in it: spring extension, the weight is acting downwards and the the string is acting upwards. Bathroom scale has a hidden spring: spring compressed. It stretched the spring x=0. 01m and spring constant is k=2000n/m. 0 = kx-mg kx = mg mg = kx = 2000 x 0. 01 = 20n. A student is attached to a bungee jumping rope of length 100m. If the spring constant is k=1000n/m/ find the weight of the student. Weight = kx = 1000 x 2 = 2000.
