2 CONCEPT: Hooke s Law & Springs When you push/pull against a spring (FA), spring pushes back in the direction. (Action-Reaction!) Fs = FA = Ex. 1: You push on a spring with a force of 120N. The spring constant k is 20. How much does it compress? x = D - Relaxed position (x = ) - NOT the spring s length (x = ) k = spring s force constant - Measures how the spring is. - Higher k to deform Ex. 2: How much force is required to pull a spring of length 10m out to 16m, if the spring constant k is 40N/m? - Ex. 1: x = k = F = - Ex. 2: x = k = F = - Units of k: FS = R force, always opposes deformation EXAMPLE 3: A 1.0 m-long spring is laid horizontally with one of its ends fixed. When you pull on it with 50 N, it stretches to 1.2 m. (a) What is the spring s force constant? (b) How much force is needed to compress it to 0.7 m? Page 2

3 PRACTICE: A 1.0 m-long spring is laid horizontally with one of its ends fixed. When you pull on it with 50 N, it stretches to 1.2 m. (a) What is the spring s force constant? (b) How much force is needed to compress it to 0.7 m? Page 3

4 CONCEPT: Spring Forces If you attach a mass to a spring (mass-spring system) and release, the force pulls it back to equilibrium. - The m always refers to the mass of the (springs are always massless!) - Compressed: ΣF = ma m a = - Released: ΣF = ma m a = EXAMPLE 1: A 0.60-kg block attached to a spring with force constant 15 N/m. The block is released from rest when the spring is stretched 0.2 m to the right. At the instant the block is released, find (a) the force on the block and (b) its acceleration, assuming right is positive. m PRACTICE: You push a 3-kg mass against a spring and release it from rest. Its maximum acceleration is 10m/s 2 when pushed back 0.5m. What is the (a) spring constant and (b) restoring force at this point? Page 4

5 CONCEPT: Intro to Simple Harmonic Motion The most common type of Simple Harmonic Motion (aka Oscillation) is the mass-spring system. (EQ) Amplitude A: - displacement, x - always the. x = = v = x = v = x = = v = Period T [seconds/cycle] - Time for one cycle. Frequency f = 1/T [cycles/second] F = a = F = a = F = a = Angular frequency ω [rad/second] - ω = = EXAMPLE 1: A mass on a spring is pulled 1m away from its equilibrium position, then released from rest. The mass takes 2s to reach maximum displacement on the other side. Calculate the (a) amplitude, (b) period, (c) angular frequency of the motion. Page 5

6 PRACTICE: A mass-spring system with an angular frequency ω = 8π rad/s oscillates back and forth. (a) Assuming it starts from rest, how much time passes before the mass has a speed of 0 again?
