Two springs are hooked together end to end. When a 4.8-kg brick is suspended from one end of the combination, the combination stretches 0.15 m beyond its relaxed length. What is the spring constant of the combination? If the top spring stretches 0.10 m, what is the spring constant of each spring?
when two springs are in series
requvalent spring constant 1/keq=1/k1+1/k2
keq=k1k2/k1+k2
total stretch is 0.15m
f=kx=mg
keq=4.8*9.8/0.15=313.6 N/m
if top spring stretches 0.10 m
k1 = mg / l
k1=4.8*9.8/0.10
k1=470.4 N/m
1/k2=1/313.6-1/470.4
k2= 940.8 N/m

If you hooked two springs together end to end and then suspended a 200g mass from the end, what would the overall elongation be? Therefore, what would be the effective spring constant of the two springs considered as one? Related equations from the lab: F = - kx T = 2π * (m/k)^(1/2) Mg = kx
A 4.0-kg red book is suspended from a spring attached to the ceiling of an elevator that is accelerating downward. Attaching the book causes the spring to stretch 71 mm beyond its relaxed length. You also have a yellow book of unknown inertia. When you attach the yellow book and the red one to the spring at the same time, the spring stretches 110 mm beyond its relaxed length. When the elevator is at rest, the combination of the two...
A soring stretches by 0.0165 m when a 4.73 kg object is suspended from its end. How much mass should be attached to this spring so that its frequency of vibration is f=4.25 Hz? Interactive Learning Ware 10.1 reviews the concepts involved in this problem. A spring stretches by 0.0165 m when a 4.73-kg object is suspended from its end. How much mass should be attached to this spring so that its frequency of vibration is f 4.25 Hz? Number...
Two objects of different masses are suspended from two springs that have the same spring constant. The heavier of the two objects will extend its spring farther beyond the equilibrium point. Why? (4.7) mm
A 1000 kg car is suspended on its axles by springs. When four 70 kg students pile in, the car lowers 3 cm. What is the effective spring constant of the suspension and what is the period of oscillation of the loaded car?
A spring stretches by 0.0209 m when a 3.75-kg object is suspended from its end. How much mass should be attached to this spring so that its frequency of vibration is f = 7.72 Hz?
Two identical massless springs are hung from a horizontal support. A block of mass 4.3 kg is suspended from the pair of springs, as shown. The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s. 0000 4.3 kg When the block is in equilibrium, each spring is stretched an additional 0.16 m. The force constant of each spring is most nearly
3) I have two equal horizontal springs attached to each other on one end. The other ends of the spring are fixed (they do not move). The equilibrium length of each spring is 30 cm. I hang a 5 kg mass between the two springs (so that each of the springs now angles downward). The mass drops a distance of 10 cm before stopping. What is the spring constant?
A 0.43-kg metal sphere oscillates at the end of a vertical spring. As the spring stretches from 0.12 m to 0.23 m (relative to its unstrained length), the speed of the sphere decreases from 7.2 to 4.8 m/s. What is the spring constant of the spring?
A uniform 1.2-kg rod that is 0.83 m long is suspended at rest from the ceiling by two springs, one at each end. Both springs hang straight down from the ceiling. The springs have identical lengths when they are unstretched. Their spring constants are 32 N/m and 55 N/m. Find the angle that the rod makes with the horizontal.
