Chapter 3.4, Problem 1aT

Draw separate free-body diagrams for each block and for the spring immediately after release. Indicate separately the vertical forces (perpendicular to the table top) and the horinra1 forces (parallel to the table top). Clearly label all forces.

Chapter 3.4, Problem 1aT, Draw separate free-body diagrams for each block and for the spring immediately after release. , example  1

Identify all the Newton's third law (action-reaction) force pairs in your diagrams by placing one or more small "×" symbols through each member of the pair (i.e., mark each member of the first pair as Chapter 3.4, Problem 1aT, Draw separate free-body diagrams for each block and for the spring immediately after release. , example  2each member of the second pair asChapter 3.4, Problem 1aT, Draw separate free-body diagrams for each block and for the spring immediately after release. , example  3etc.).

To determine

The free body diagram of block and spring.

Explanation of Solution

Introduction:

Newtonian mechanics states that force never occurs singly in nature. Force is the mutual interaction between two bodies. The mutual forces are always equal and opposite in direction.

When the block is being apart, the spring force is acting towards the equilibrium position, and the block is coming towards each other as the spring is compressed.

In the vertical direction, force is acting on the block due to gravity.

The free body diagram in the vertical direction is shown in figure 1.

The free body diagram in horizontal direction is shown in figure 2.

Conclusion:

Therefore, the free body diagram in the vertical and horizontal direction is shown in Figures 1 and 2 respectively.

please answer all 4 parts and type answer please  You have a massless spring with a relaxed length of 13.8 cm. (Draw a picture and a free body diagram for the object for parts A and B situation below.) A. If you hang the spring vertically with a 0.92 kg weight on it, the spring is now 17.6 cm long. What is the spring constant k? B. If you set the spring on the ground in a vertical position and set a 1.2 kg weight on top of it, how far is the spring compressed? What is the length of the spring when the weight is on it? C. If you hold the spring in a horizontal orientation, how much would you need to compress it to create a restoring force of 18 N from the spring? D. How much would you need to stretch the spring to get the same 18 N restoring force? Explain.
For every problem, show FBDS and write down Newton's 2nd law in component form. Remember to be precise in your work: clearly describe what your system of interėst is, pay attention to vector/component notation, and follow a clear strategy in your work-the layout of your page should reflect a linear progression of steps and thoughts (please do not jolt down things all over the place!!); show all details of the calculations that are needed to answer the questions: no guesses of course! A block with mass M is pushed against a vertical wall with a force of magnitude P and directed at an angle 0 below the horizontal. The wall and the block experience friction (coefficient of static friction is Hs). Is it possible to keep the block from sliding downward? And if so, how exactly? Use Newton's 2nd law to support your answer. M
Blocks A and B are held on the palm of your outstretched hand as you lift them straight up atconstant speed. Assume mB>mA and that mhand=0.a. Draw separated free-body diagrams for A, B and your hand. Show all vertical forces andmake sure the vector lengths indicate the relative sizes of the forces.b. Rank in order from largest to smallest all of the vertical forces. Explain your reasoning.Now the hand is lifting the blocks so they have an upward acceleration.c. Draw separated free-body diagrams for A, B and your hand. Show all vertical forces andmake sure the vector lengths indicate the relative sizes of the forces.d. Rank in order from largest to smallest all of the vertical forces for when the block isaccelerating. Explain your reasoning.
