A metal cylinder of mass ? = 5 kg with a coaxial hole is sliding horizontally on a metal rod. A spring with spring constant ? = 500 N/m is attached to the cylinder. The other end of the spring is attached on a table at a vertical distance of ℎ = 0.3 m below the cylinder. The spring has an equilibrium length of ?_0 = 0.5 m.

a) What is the horizontal position ?0 of the cylinder when the spring is at its natural equilibrium length of ?0 = 0.5 m? Define the attachment point of the spring on the table as position ? = 0.

b) What is the length ? of the spring when the cylinder is at any given position ??

c) Draw a free-body diagram of the cylinder.

d) Show that the horizontal force from the spring on the cylinder is: ?? = −?? (1 − ?0 √? 2 + ℎ 2 )

A metal cylinder with a mass of 3.50 kg is attached to a spring and is able to oscillate horizontally with negligible friction. The cylinder is pulled to a distance of 0.200 m from its equilibrium position, held in place with a force of 18.0 N,and then released from rest. It then oscillates in simple harmonic motion. (The cylinder oscillates along the x-axis, where x = 0 is the equilibrium position.) (a) What is the spring constant (in N/m)? N/m...

A block of mass 2 kg and a block of mass 3 kg are sliding on...

A block of mass 2 kg and a block of mass 3 kg are sliding on a frictionless surface. They collide and stick together. Before the collision the first block was travelling at 5 m/s in the positive x direction. After the collision the two blocks are travelling at 6 m/s in the negative x direction. What was the x component of the velocity of the second block before the collision?

A sliding block on a frictionless table has a mass of 0.850 kg. The hanging counterweight has a mass of 0.420 kg, and the pulley is a “uniform solid cylinder” with a mass of 0.350 kg and outer radius, r = 0.0300 m. The pulley turns without friction on its axle. The essentially massless cord does not stretch and does not slip on the pulley. The block has a velocity of 0.820 m/s toward the pulley as it passes through...

Two pucks are sliding on a frictionless tabletop. Block A (mass 4.11 kg) is moving to the East (+x direction) at 1.50 m/s. Block B (mass 4.93 kg) is moving to the North (+y direction) at 1.80 m/s. Assume the system to be both Block A and Block B. (Note: It could be useful to make a drawing of the situation.) What is the x-component of the total momentum of the system before the collision? What is the y-component of...

A 0.25 kg mass sliding on a horizontal frictionless surface is attached to one end of a horizontal spring (with k = 800 N/m) whose other end is fixed. The mass has a kinetic energy of 9.0 J as it passes through its equilibrium position (the point at which the spring force is zero). 1.At what rate is the spring doing work on the mass as the mass passes through its equilibrium position? 2.At what rate is the spring doing...

A solid cylinder with a mass of 3 kg, a radius of 25 cm, and a length of 40 cm is rolling across a horizontal floor with a linear speed of 12 m/s. The cylinder then comes to a ramp, and, as it is rolling up this ramp without slipping, it is slowing down. When the cylinder finally comes to a stop and begins rolling back down the ramp, how high is it above the floor?

A small block with mass 0.350 kg is attached to a string passing through a hole in a frictionless, horizontal surface. The block is originally revolving in a circle with a radius of 0.500 m about the hole with a tangential speed of 1.50 m/s, uniformly. Consider the block as a particle. Moment of inertia of a particle is I=mr2, where r is the radius of the circle. Of course a tension force of the string is holding the block...
