When the truck's weight is added to the boat, the boat sinks 5 cm deeper,
and displaces additional water whose weight is equal to the weight of the
truck.

The volume of the additional displaced water is

             (3.9 m) x (6.3 m) x (5.0 cm)

         =  (3.9 m) x (6.3 m) x (0.05 m)  =   1.2285 m³ .

The weight of that much water is the weight of the truck.

          Mass of 1 liter of water  =  1 kilogram

          1.2285 m³  =  1,228.5 liters  =  1,228.5 kg of water.

          Weight = (mass) x (gravity)

                      = (1,228.5 kg) x (9.8 m/s²)  =  12,039 Newtons.

                                                                  (about 2,708 pounds)

F = m*a
5000 = 2000 * x
5000/2000 = x
2.5 = x

A 1.00 kg object is attached to a horizontal spring. the spring is initially stretched by 0.500 m, and the object is released fr
valina [46]
The  spring is initially stretched, and the mass released from rest (v=0). The next time the speed becomes zero again is when the spring is fully compressed, and the mass is on the opposite side of the spring with respect to its equilibrium position, after a time t=0.100 s. This corresponds to half oscillation of the system. Therefore, the period of a full oscillation of the system is
T=2 t = 2 \cdot 0.100 s = 0.200 s
Which means that the frequency is
f= \frac{1}{T}= \frac{1}{0.200 s}=5 Hz
and the angular frequency is
\omega=2 \pi f = 2 \pi (5 Hz)=31.4 rad/s

In a spring-mass system, the maximum velocity of the object is given by
v_{max} = A \omega
where A is the amplitude of the oscillation. In our problem, the amplitude of the motion corresponds to the initial displacement of the object (A=0.500 m), therefore the maximum velocity is
v_{max} = A \omega = (0.500 m)(31.4 rad/s)= 15.7 m/s
