force constant of each spring is k.
so when mounted side by side then keq = 2k
and F = keq x
2 = 2k (x1)
x1 = 1/k
for additional weight,
2 + 4 = 2k(x1 + 0.05)
6 = 2kx1 + 2k(0.05)
6 = 2 + 0.01k
k = 40 N/m
Two identical coil springs are mounted side by side so that they jointly support a weight...
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?
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
An automobile can be considered to be mounted on four identical springs as far as vertical oscillations are concerned. The springs of a certain car are adjusted so that the oscillations have a frequency of 2 Hz. (a) What is the spring constant of each spring if the mass of the car is 1250 kg and the weight is evenly distributed over the springs? My Work: ω = 2πf = 2π(2Hz) = 12.56637061 rad/s; k = mω2 = [1250kg(12.56637061 rad/s)^2]/4...
Truck suspensions often have "helper springs" that engage at high loads. One such arrangement is a leaf spring with a helper coil spring mounted on the axle, as shown in the figure below. When the main leaf spring is compressed by distance y, the helper spring engages and then helps to support any additional load. Suppose the leaf spring constant is 4.80 x 105 N/m, the helper spring constant is 3.70 x 103 N/m, and yo 0.500 m. Truck body...
Truck suspensions often have "helper springs" that engage at
high loads. One such arrangement is a leaf spring with a helper
coil spring mounted on the axle, as shown in the figure below. When
the main leaf spring is compressed by distance
y0, the helper spring engages and then helps to
support any additional load. Suppose the leaf spring constant is
5.05 105 N/m, the helper spring constant is
3.60 105 N/m, and y0 =

Truck suspensions often have "helper springs" that engage at high loads. One such arrangement is a leaf spring with a helper coil spring mounted on the axle, as shown in the figure below. When the main leaf spring is compressed by distance y0, the helper spring engages and then helps to support any additional load.

A wheel with mass of 5 kg and a radius of 15 cm is mounted so that it spins on an axle through its center. A light-weight string is wound around the circumference of the wheel. If a constant force of 3.0 N is applied to the end of the string for 1.0 seconds, what will be the change in the angular velocity? (Model the wheel as though it were a uniform cylinder.)
Two identical lightweight arms are mounted so that they can
revolve in a horizontal plane around a common axis. Two balls of
masses mm and M=2mM=2m are fixed to the ends of the arms and
connected with a light compressed spring (see the top view in
(Figure 1)). When the spring is released, the arms are pushed
apart, rotate in opposite directions, and finally collide.
What is the angle through which the arm with the larger ball
turns before the...
1. Two neutral spheres are attached to two identical springs and separated by 8.0 cm. When a charge of +2.5 x 10-6 C is placed on each sphere, the distance between the spheres doubles. The springs are then oriented vertically and a 560 g mass is placed on them. What compression would these springs experience? Assume both springs would share the force of the mass equally. 2. In a physics experiment designed to analyze collisions between electrons and π0 mesons...
