Hooke’s law describes an ideal spring. Many real springs are better described by the restoring force , where q is a constant.
Consider a spring with .
It is also.
a. How much work must you do to compress this spring ? Note that, by Newton’s third law, the work you do on the spring is the negative of the work done by the spring.
b. By what percent has the cubic term increased the work over what would be needed to compress an ideal spring? Hint: Let the spring lie along the s-axis with the equilibrium position of the end of the spring at .
Then ∆s = s.
A pile driver lifts a weight and then lets it fall onto the end of a steel pipe that needs to be driven into the ground. A fall of drives the pipe in . What is the average force exerted on the pipe?
An kg crate is pulled m up a incline by a rope angled above the incline. The tension in the rope is N, and the crate’s coefficient of kinetic friction on the incline is .
a. How much work is done by tension, by gravity, and by the normal force?
b. What is the increase in thermal energy of the crate and incline?
A horizontal spring with spring constant N/m extends outward from a wall just above floor level. A kg box sliding across a frictionless floor hits the end of the spring and compresses it cm before the spring expands and shoots the box back out. How fast was the box going when it hit the spring?
At what speed does a 1000 kg compact car have the same kinetic energy as a 20,000 kg truck going 25 km/h?
