Question

Find all values indicated- symbolically- using k for spring constant. Please use kinematics and NOT calculus based derivatives/integrals.

The Acme Toy Company, a subsidiary of the Acme Widget and Whatzit Corporation, needs you and your team to find the approximate spring constant of the spring in their new "Pop-Up" toy. Your team needs to devise a method to find the approximate spring constant and report the finding to the boss (e.g. the instructor) Using the value of K and the work/energy concept, determine the approximate value of work the suction does on the toy as it pops up. The initial position of the toy is when the suction is holding the toy down. The final position of the toy is when the toy is at its maximum height. Show all steps in solving this problem. sunbalica
