Answer:
Explanation:
Let the extension in the spring be x .
restoring force = weight of block
kx = mg
x = 
= 23.84 cm
b )
When the elevator is going upwards
Restoring force = mg + ma
k x₁ = 10.9 ( 9.8 + 1.89 )
x₁ = 28.44 cm
( y coordinate will be - ( 28.44 - 23.84 ) = - 4.6 cm )
c ) When the cable snaps , both elevator and block undergo free fall . In this case apparent g = 0
Since the spring is stretched by 28.44 cm , a restoring force continues to act on the block which is equal to
.2844 x 448
= 127.41 N
So a net acceleration a will act on the block
a = 127.41 / 10.9
= 11.68 m / s²
The block will undergo SHM with amplitude equal to 28.44 cm .
Newton's third law states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. When you let go of the ballon, you are letting the force out but the force also pushes the balloon back.
