A spring with constant k1 is attached vertically to the ceiling and a sphere of mass m1 hangs from the other end of the spring. Another spring, this one with constant k2 is attached vertically to the first sphere. Finally a second sphere (mass m2) is attached to the lower end of the second spring. Assuming that the spheres can only move vertically and using y1 and y2 as coordinates measured from the equilibrium position of each sphere, show that...

An ideal spring hangs from the ceiling. A 2.15 kg mass is hung from the spring, stretching the spring a distance d = 0.0905 m from its original length when it reaches equilibrium. The mass is then lifted up a distance L = 0.0225 m from the equilibrium position and released. What is the kinetic energy of the mass at the instant it passes back through the equilibrium position?

A spring/mass system is shown in four different states: The spring hangs vertically in equilibrium with no mass at its end. A 2.6 kg mass hangs from the spring in equilibrium, stretching the spring b=5.7 cm. The mass is pulled down a distance c and released. The mass is at the reference height moving with a speed of v=8.4 m/s. How far down (c) was the mass pulled before it was released? (Hint: you can calculate the spring constant with...
