A childs pogo stick (Fig. P7.69) stores energy in a spring with a force constant of 2.50 104 N/m. At position (x = 0.100 m), the spring compression is a maximum and the child is momentarily at rest. At position (x = 0), the spring is relaxed and the child is moving upward. At position , the child is again momentarily at rest at the top of the jump. The combined mass of child and pogo stick is 25.0 kg. Although the boy must lean forward to remain balanced, the angle is small, so lets assume the pogo stick is vertical. Also assume the boy does not bend his legs during the motion. (a) Calculate the total energy of the childstickEarth system, taking both gravitational and elastic potential energies as zero for x = 0.

A mysterious force acts on all particles along a particular line and always points towards a particular point P on the line. The magnitude of the force on a particle increases as the cube of the distance from that point; that is Fr3 , if the distance from P to the position of the particle is r. Let b be the proportionality constant, and write the magnitude of the force as F=br3. Find the potential energy of a particle subjected to this force when the particle is at a distance D from P, assuming the potential energy to be zero when the particle is at P.
