(a) force constant of the springs
k = ΔF/Δx
k = (64.7 * 9.81) / 0.0517
k = 12276.7 N/m
This is the combined spring constant for both springs. Each spring
individually would have a spring constant of half that value or
6138.3 N/m
(b) mass of the trailer
T = 1.14 s
f = 1/T = 0.877 Hz
f = ω/2π
ω = 2πf = 5.51 rad/s
ω² = k/m
m = k / ω² = 12276.7 / 5.51² = 404.37 kg
so trailer mass is
m = 404.37 - 64.7 = 339.67 kg
(c) Frequency of the oscillation
f = 1/T = 1/1.14 = 0.877 Hz
(d) Time it takes for the trailer to bounce up and down 10
times
t = 10 T = 11.4 s

three identical 6.40 kg masses are hung by three identical springs. each spring has a force constant of 7.80 KN/m and was 12 cm long before any masses attached to it.How long is each spring when hanging?
(a) Compute the force constant or spring constant for a spring suspension system that is displaced 2.40 cm when a load of 100.0 kg is place upon this system. Use SI units. (b) Use the force or spring constant from part (a), compute the potential energy stored in the spring when the spring is displaced 2.40 cm.
In the figure below, two identical springs of spring constant 7500 N/m are attached to a block of mass 0.300 kg. What is the frequency of oscillation on the frictionless floor? Give your answer in Hz
Fish are hung on a spring scale to determine their mass (most fishermen feel no obligation to report the mass truthfully).

A 3.00-kg block is connected to two ideal horizontal springs having force constants k1 = 23.0 N/cm and k2 = 18.0 N/cm. The system is initially in equilibrium on a horizontal, frictionless surface. The block is now pushed 15.0 cm to the right and released from rest. What is the maximum speed of the block?
If two identical springs are used in parallel (side by side) so that an applied force F stretches both springs simultaneously, will the spring constant for the combination be less than, equal to, or greater than the spring constant for the individual springs? Support your answer by measuring the spring constant for two parallel springs (e.g., two “A” springs or two “B” springs) and comparing the spring constant for the combination to the spring constant for the individual springs.
Two identical 375-g speakers are mounted on parallel springs, each having a spring constant of 50.0 N/cm. Both speakers face in the same direction and produce a steady tone of 1.00 kHz. Both sounds have an amplitude of 35.0 cm, but they oscillate 180° out of phase with each other. What is the highest frequency of the beat that a person will hear if she stands in front of the speakers?
When a 85.0 kg. person climbs into an 1300 kg. car, the car's springs compress vertically 1.3 cm. What will be the frequency of vibration when the car hits a bump? (Ignore damping.)
