1. Three identical 6.4kg masses are hung by three identical springs. Each spring has a force constant of 7.8 Kn/m and is 12cm long before any masses are attached to it. how long is the bottom most spring going to be after the three masses are hung on it a. 14.3 b. 16.2 c.12.8 d.10.7
2. a spring balance used to weigh candy is built with a spring the spring stretches 3.00 cm when a 15 n weight is placed in the pan. when the weight is replaced with 3 kg of candy, what distance will the spring stretch?
a.7.0 b.4.5 c.3.8 d.5.9
3. Spring A has a spring constant of 5 N/m and spring B has a force constant of 9 N/m. A weight of 2 kg is applied to spring A and a weight of 10 kg is applied to spring B. Which of the following is true for the final displacements of springs A and B?
a) Spring B has a larger displacement than spring A. b) Spring A has a larger displacement than spring B. c) Spring A and spring B have the same displacement.
4. a spring with a length of 25 cm is stretched to 28cm when a force of 12n was applied. what would the length be if the force is doubled
a.31 cm b.35 c.50 d. 45
