A spring with spring constant 32 N/m is attached to the ceiling, and a 4.7-cm-diameter, 1.2 kg metal cylinder is attached to its lower end. The cylinder is held so that the spring is neither stretched nor compressed, then a tank of water is placed underneath with the surface of the water just touching the bottom of the cylinder. When released, the cylinder will oscillate a few times but, damped by the water, quickly reach an equilibrium position.

When in equilibrium, what length of the cylinder is submerged?

A sphere is attached to a vertical spring of constant k = 11,990 N/m. As the sphere is allowed to hang from the spring, it also is partially submerged in water, where 60% of its volume is underwater. When the sphere is in equilibrium, it has displaced the spring by 10.0 cm from its relaxed length. The density of the sphere is 4250 kg/m3. (a) Has the spring stretched or compressed? Explain. (b) What is the radius of the sphere?

A ball is attached to a vertical spring. The ball is initially supported at a height y so that the spring is neither stretched nor compressed. The ball is then released from rest and it falls to a height y - h before moving upward. Consider the following quantities: translational kinetic energy, gravitational potential energy, elastic potential energy. When the ball was at a height y - (h/2), which of the listed quantities has values other than zero joules? Please...

A 0.5-kg mass is attached to a spring with spring constant 2.5 N/m. The spring experiences friction, which acts as a force opposite and proportional to the velocity, with magnitude 2 N for every m/s of velocity. The spring is stretched 1 meter and then released. (a) Find a formula for the position of the mass as a function of time. (b) How much time does it take the mass to complete one oscillation (to pass the equilibrium point, bounce...

One end of a spring with a force constant of k = 10.0 N/m is attached to the end of a long horizontal frictionless track and the other end is attached to a mass m = 2.20 kg which glides along the track. After you establish the equilibrium position of the mass-spring system, you move the mass in the negative direction (to the left), compressing the spring 2.03 m. You then release the mass from rest and start your stopwatch,...
