The barricade at the end of a subway line has a large spring designed to compress 2.00 m when stopping a 1.10 ? 105 kg train moving at 0.500 m/s.
(a) What is the force constant of the spring?
N/m
(b) What speed would the train be going if it only compressed the
spring 0.500 m?
m/s
(c) What force does the spring exert when compressed 0.500 m?
N (in the direction opposite to the train's motion)

2. A helical compression spring is to be designed as shown in Fig Q2. The spring is required to exert a force of Po-102 N when compressed to a length of lo=44 mm. When its length is 1=76 mm, it must exert a force of P=22 N. The spring will be cycled rapidly, with severe service required. Use ASTM A401 steel wire. The factor of safety, η, need to be larger than 1.5. Starting with a spring index of 9,...

3./ A 1.2 kg block sliding at 6.0 m/s on a frictionless surface runs into and sticks to a spring. The spring is compressed 0.10 m before stopping the block and starting its motion back in the opposite direction. a. Calculate the energy of vibration. b. Calculate the force constant of the spring. c. Calculate the period of vibration of the system. d. Write the equation of motion of the block when its oscillating.

A spring gun is made by compressing a spring in a tube and then latching the spring at the compressed position. A 4.97-g pellet is placed against the compressed and latched spring. The spring latches at a compression of 4.07 cm, and it takes a force of 9.12 N to compress the spring to that point. (a) If the gun is fired vertically, how fast is the pellet moving when it loses contact with the spring? (Include the effect of...

A 0.19 kg mass is held at rest against a compressed spring with a spring constant of 103 N/m. When released, the mass leaves the spring with a speed of 6.28 m/s. Assuming that the spring force if wholly responsible for changing the motion of the mass, by what distance was the spring initially compressed from its equilibrium position?
