Question

The drawing shows three identical springs hanging from the ceiling. Nothing is attached to the first spring, whereas a W = 8.74-N block hangs from the second spring. A block of unknown weight hangs from the third spring. From the drawing, determine the spring constant (in N/m) and the weight of the block hanging from the third spring.

Explanation / Answer

F = kx = Mg

Therfore

8.74 = k*(0.35-0.20)

k = 58.2667 N/m

W3 = kx

= 58.2667*(0.50-0.20)

= 17.48 N
