A 50-gram mass is hanging from a spring whose unstretched length is 10 cm and whose spring constant is 2.5 N/m. In the list below are described five situations. In some of the situations, the mass is at rest and remains at rest. In other situations, at the instant described, the mass is in the middle of an oscillation initiated by a person pulling the mass downward 5 cm from its equilibrium position and releasing it. Ignore both air resistance and internal damping in the spring.

At the time the situation occurs, indicate whether the force vector requested points up (U), down (D), or has magnitude zero (0).

The force on the mass exerted by the spring when the mass is at its equilibrium position and is at rest: ______
The force on the mass exerted by the spring when the mass is at its equilibrium position and is moving downward: ________
The net force on the mass when the mass is at its equilibrium position and is moving upward: ______
The force on the mass exerted by the spring when it is at the top of its oscillation: ______
The net force on the mass when it is at the top of its oscillation: ______

You have a lightweight spring whose unstretched length is 4.0 cm. First, you attach one end of the spring to the ceiling and hang a 1.2 g mass from it. This stretches the spring to a length of 4.8 cm . You then attach two small plastic beads to the opposite ends of the spring, lay the spring on a frictionless table, and give each plastic bead the same charge. This stretches the spring to a length of 4.5 cm...

Consider a mass m attached to a spring of unstretched length `0. The top of the spring is attached to the ceiling. The mass is stretched down a distance r from it’s unstretched equilibrium length, while at the same time the spring is inclined at an angle θ with respect the the vertical. This makes the spring an elastic pendulum, where not only the angle changes, but also the length! Determine the equations of motion of this pendulum (Hint: there...
