A kitchen scale can measure a maximum mass of 320g ; it uses a vertical spring whose compression is calibrated to the mass in its weighing pan.
a. What spring constant is needed if the spring compresses 0.35cm when the scale reads its maximum value?
b. What is the oscillation period with this maximum mass on the scale?

A 7.8kg mass hanging from a
spring scale is slowly lowered onto a vertical spring, as shown in
the figure.
What does the spring scale read just before the mass touches the
lower spring?(N)
The scale reads 22N when the lower spring has been compressed by
2.6cm . What is the value of the spring constant for the lower
spring? (N/m)
At what compression length will the scale read zero? (cm)
A 5.0-kg block suspended from a spring scale is slowly lowered
onto a vertical spring (Figure 1) .
Part A
What does the scale read before the block touches the vertical
spring?
Part B
If the scale reads 34N when the bottom spring is compressed 30
mm, what is k for the bottom spring?
Part C
How far does the block compress the bottom spring when the scale
reads 0?

Show that the natural period of vertical oscillation of a mass hung on a Hookean spring is the same as the period of a simple pendulum whose length is equal to the elongation the mass causes when hung on the spring.

A student must determine how the mass of a block affects the period of oscillation when the block is attached to a vertical spring. The value of the spring constant is known. The student writes the following experimental procedure.Use an electronic balance to measure the mass of the block.Attach the block to the vertical spring.Displace the block from the system’s equilibrium position to a new vertical position.Release the block from rest.Use a meterstick to measure the vertical displacement of the...
A block with mass m =7.2 kg is hung from a vertical spring. When the mass hangs in equilibrium, the spring stretches x = 0.25 m. While at this equilibrium position, the mass is then given an initial push downward at v = 4.6 m/s. The block oscillates on the spring without friction. What is the spring constant of the spring? What is the oscillation frequency? After t = 0.39 s what is the speed of the block? What is...

A ballistic spring system can be used to measure the speed of bullets. A bullet of mass 0.005 kg is fired into a block of mass 2 kg. The block, with the embedded bullet, then slides across a frictionless table and collides with a horizontal spring whose spring constant is 50 N m . The opposite end of the spring is anchored to a wall. The spring’s maximum compression is measured to be 0.1 m. Calculate the initial speed of...
