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 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?
