Equipartition Theorem: A very sensitive spring balance consists of a quartz spring suspended vertically from a fixed support. The spring constant is k. The balance is at temperature T in a location where the gravitational acceleration is g.
(a) When a small object of mass m is suspended from the spring, the spring will be stretched out by an amount x and will reach an equilibrium position. However, thermal energy will cause fluctuations in x. Ignoring the mass of the spring, what is the average value of x, ?
(b) What is the magnitude of thermal fluctuations of the object, <(x-)2>1/2 ?
(c) When the fluctuations become comparable to the average value, the measurement becomes impractical. How small mass can this balance measure?

Acave rescue team lifts an injured spelunker directly upward and out of a sinkhole by means of a motor-driven cable. the lift is performed in three stages, each requiring a vertical distance of 10.0 m: (a) the initially stationary spelunker is accelerated to a speed of 4.90 m/s; (b) he is then lifted at the constant speed of 4.90 m/s; (c) finally he is decelerated to zero speed. how much work is done on the 68.0 kg rescue by the force lifting him during each stage?

Light from two different sources are incident upon the same side of a polarizing filter. light from one source is polarized with total intensity ip, while light from the other source is unpolarized with total intensity iu. as you rotate the polarizing filter through 360 degrees, the intensity of the transmitted light on the other side varies by a factor of 9. what is the relative intensity of the initial polarized source to the unpolarized source, or ip/iu?
