   A 2 kgmass hangs motionless from a partially stretched spring having aspring constant of 248 N/m. What is the magnitude of the force (inN) that would be required to pull the mass down by an additional 5cm?
Answer

Explanation / Answer

a) Amplitude (A) = 10cm b) Time period is T = 4s c) Equilibrium point is at 15 cm d) Max velocity is vmax = A                                      = A(2 / T)                                      = (2A) / T Here A = 10cm   T = 4s e) spring constant is   k =mg / x f) the magnitude of the force (in N) that would berequired to pull the mass down by an additional 5 cm is               F = kx
