3. A 529 lbf rock falls 93.4 feet with an 18.3% loss of PE due to air drag/friction. Calculate the velocity of the rock in ft/s the instant before it strikes the earth. Hint: Set PE - RE 4. A spring is compressed 6.18 cm from its at-rest position. The spring is then compressed an additional 4.45 cm. If the spring constant is 254 N/cm, find the amount of work done in compressing the spring. Report the final answer in units of Joule. 5. A piston compresses a gas from 27.8 into 13.9 in. If this process is performed in an isobaric manner at 145 psi, what is the boundary work W. done in units of ft-lbf?
