A cylinder is fitted with a piston, beneath which is a spring, as in the drawing. The cylinder is open to the air at the top. Friction is absent. The spring constant of the spring is 3300 N/m. The piston has a negligible mass and a radius of 0.036 m. (a) When the air beneath the piston is completely pumped out, how much does the atmospheric pressure cause the spring to compress? (b) How much work does the atmospheric pressure do in compressing the spring? (a) Number Units (b) Number Units

A copper rod of length 0.84 m is lying on a frictionless table (see the drawing). Each end of the rod is attached to a fixed wire by an unstretched spring that has a spring constant of k = 94 N/m. A magnetic field with a strength of 0.21 T is oriented perpendicular to the surface of the table. (a) What must be the direction of the current in the copper rod that causes the springs to stretch? (b) If the current is 13 A, by how much does each spring stretch? (a) Direction (b) Number Units

A 70.4-kg bungee jumper is standing on a tall platform (h0 = 46.4 m), as indicated in the figure. The bungee cord has a natural length of L0 = 8.60 m and, when stretched, behaves like an ideal spring with a spring constant of k = 52.5 N/m. The jumper falls from rest, and it is assumed that the only forces acting on him are his weight and, for the latter part of the descent, the elastic force of the bungee cord. What is his speed when he is at the following heights above the water: (a) hA = 37.8 m, and (b) hB = 13.9 m? (a) Number Units (b) Number Units

The figure shows a thin rod, of length L = 2.30 m and negligible mass, that can pivot about one end to rotate in a vertical circle. A heavy ball of mass m = 15.0 kg is attached to the other end. The rod is pulled aside to angle θ0 = 14.0∘ and released with initial velocity v→0 = 0. As the ball descends to its lowest point, (a) how much work does the gravitational force do on it and (b) what is the change in the gravitational potential energy of the ball-Earth system? (c) If the gravitational potential energy is taken to be zero at the lowest point, what is its value just as the ball is released? (a) Number Units (b) Number Units c) Number Units
