When a block is on top of a verticle spring, the spring compressed 0.0315m. Find the mass of the block given that the force constant of the spring is 1750N.
F= kx
F=mg
kx=mg
m= kx/g
m= (1750)(0.0315)/(9.8)
m= 5.62kg
Two blocks are connected by a string. The smooth inclined surface makes an angle of 42º with the horizontal, and the block on the incline has a mass off 6.7kg. Find the mass of the hanging block that will cause the system to be in equillibrium.

Fx= T- (M)(g)sin(Ø)= 0
T= (m)(g) = (M)(g)sin(Ø)
(m) (g)=(M)(g)sin(Ø) (gravity cancels)
(m) = (M)sin(Ø)
(m) = (6.7)sin(42)
m= 4.48kg
How do you decrease centripetal acceleration for jet pilots?


Find the acceleration of the masses shown
m1= 1kg
m2= 2kg
m3= 3kg

£F=(m)(a)
(m3 is the only block experiencing real gravity)
(m1+m2+m3)(a)=(m3)(g)
a= (m3)(g)
(m1+m2+m3)
a= (3)(9.81)
(1+2+3)
a= 4.9 m/s2
Find the direction and the magnitude of the hanging blocks acceleration if its mass is 4.2kg
What we know
M= 5.7kg
m=4.2kg

Parallel: (m)(g)sin(Ø)
Tension=(m)(g)
£F= (m)(a)
-(M1)(g)sin(35)-T=(m2)a
T= -(M1)(g)sin(35)-(m2)a
£F=ma
[(M1)(a)sin(35)-(m2)g]+ mg = (M1+m2)(a)

At the airport, you pull a 18kg suitcase across the floor with a strap at a 45º angle above the horizontal. Find the normal force and the tension in the strap, givn that the suitcase moves with constant speed and the coefficient of kinetic friction between the suitcase and the floor is 0.38.


T= 68.69
Find the coefficient of kinetic friction between a 3.85kg block and the horizontal surface on which it rests if a 85N spring must be stretched by 0.062m to pull it with constant speed. Assume spring is pulled in horizontal direction.
Ff = kx
Ff= (85N)(0.062m)= 5.27
Fn= mg
Fn= (3.85kg)(9.81m/s2)= 37.73
u=Ff/Fn
u= (5.27)/(37.73)
u= 0.14
