Truck suspensions often have "helper springs" that engage at high loads. One such arrangement is a leaf spring with a helper coil spring mounted on the axle, as shown in the figure below. When the main leaf spring is compressed by distance y0, the helper spring engages and then helps to support any additional load. Suppose the leaf spring constant is 5.20×105 N/m, the helper spring constant is 3.40×105 N/m, and y0 = 0.500 m. (a) What is the compression of the leaf spring for a load of 4.90×105 N? m (b) How much work is done in compressing the springs?

A spring with a spring constant of 500 N/m is used to propel a 0.44−kg mass up an inclined plane. The spring is compressed 30 cm from its equilibrium position and launches the mass from rest across a horizontal surface and onto the plane. The plane has a length l = 2 m and is inclined at 32∘. Both the plane and the horizontal surface have a coefficient of kinetic friction with the mass of 0.35 . When the spring is compressed, the mass is at distance d = 1.4 m from the bottom of the plane. (a) What is the speed of the mass as it reaches the bottom of the plane? (b) What is the speed of the mass as it reaches the top of the plane? (c) What is the total work done by friction from the beginning to the end of the mass's motion?

Consider a frictionless track as shown in the figure below. A block of mass m1 = 2.00 kg is released from point (A) from a height of h = 1.15 m. It makes a perfectly inelastic collision at point (B) with a block of mass m2 = 2.00 kg that is initially at rest. After the collision, the block of mass m2 moves to the right and collides with a spring at point ( C . The spring is attached to a wall and has a spring constant of 8.59 kN/m. (a) Calculate the energy loss during the collision. Enter the magnitude. J (b) Calculate the maximum compression of the spring. cm (c) Instead of an inelastic collision, consider a head-on elastic collision at point B. During this specific elastic collision when the masses are equal, m1 transfers its kinetic energy to m2 and as a result, m1 comes to rest. Calculate the maximum compression of the spring. cm

Problem 4. A particle of mass m is attached to two nearby walls by springs, each of which has spring constant k, as in the figure below. When the particle is situated at the midpoint between the two walls, both springs are un-stretched. The mass is now pulled to the right by an amount A, and then at time t = 0 is released from rest (i. e., with no initial velocity). Ignore gravity, and ignore any motion in the transverse (i. e., y ) direction. (20 points total) (a) By applying Newton's laws of motion, find the differential equation that governs the subsequent motion of the particle. (10 points) (b) What is x(t) for this particle?
