The mass is just sitting there motionless. There is no acceleration and it is in equilibrium. What does this mean? This means that the net force in the y-direction (vertical direction) must be zero. I ...

This model simulates the mechanical behavior of a spring and damper system shown in Figure 14.80. Figure 14.80: Spring and Damper System Model A mass is hung from a spring with spring constant K. The ...

The elastic potential energy stored can be calculated using the equation: A spring has a spring constant, k, of 3 N/m. It is stretched until it is extended by 50 cm. Calculate the elastic potential ...
