A block of mass 0.260 kg is placed on top of a light, vertical spring of force constant 5 200 N/m and pushed downward so that th

e spring is compressed by 0.090 m. After the block is released from rest, it travels upward and then leaves the spring. To what maximum height above the point of release does it rise

After being released, the restoring force exerted by the spring performs

1/2 (5200 N/m) (0.090 m)² = 12.06 J

of work on the block. At the same time, the block's weight performs

- (0.260 kg) <em>g</em> (0.090 m) ≈ -0.229 J

of work. Then the total work done on the block is about

<em>W</em> ≈ 11.83 J

The block accelerates to a speed <em>v</em> such that, by the work-energy theorem,

<em>W</em> = ∆<em>K</em>   ==>   11.83 J = 1/2 (0.260 kg) <em>v</em> ²   ==>   <em>v</em> ≈ 9.54 m/s

Past the equilibrium point, the spring no longer exerts a force on the block, and the only force acting on it is due to its weight, hence it has a downward acceleration of magnitude <em>g</em>. At its highest point, the block has zero velocity, so that

0² - <em>v</em> ² = -2<em>gy</em>

where <em>y</em> is the maximum height. Solving for <em>y</em> gives

<em>y</em> = <em>v</em> ²/(2<em>g</em>) ≈ 4.64 m

Beth, a construction worker, attempts to pull a stake out of the ground by pulling on a rope that is attached to the stake. The
AnnyKZ [126]

Answer:

Fy=107.2 N

Explanation:

Conceptual analysis

For a right triangle :

sinβ = y/h formula (1)

cosβ = x/h formula (2)

x: side adjacent to the β angle

y:  opposite side of the β angle

h: hypotenuse

Known data

h = T = 153.8 N : rope tension

β= 44.2°with the horizontal (x)

Problem development

We apply the formula (1) to calculate Ty : vertical component of the rope force.

sin44.2° = Ty/153.8 N

Ty = (153.8 N ) *(sen44.2°)= 107.2 N  directed down

for equilibrium system

Fy= Ty=107.2 N

Fy=107.2 N upward component of the force acting on the stake
