C. Problem solving
C.1 Using Newtons Laws
1A. Blocks of 1.0, 2.0, and 3.0 kg are lined up on a table, as shown in the figure below. A rightward-pointing
12 N force is applied to the leftmost block. What force does the rightmost block exert on the middle one?
(Denote leftward forces with a negative sign.)
-6 N
1B. A 2 kg mass and a 3 kg mass are on a horizontal frictionless surface, connected by a massless spring with
spring constant k = 144 N/m. A 10 N force is applied to the larger mass, as shown in Fig. 4.23. How much
does the spring stretch from its equilibrium length?
2.78 cm
2A. A rope can withstand a maximum tension force of 525 N before breaking. The rope is used to pull a 41 kg
bucket of water upward. What is the maximum upward acceleration if the rope is not to break?
3 m/s2
2B. Tarzan (mass 75 kg) slides down a vine that can withstand a maximum tension of 600 N before breaking.
What minimum acceleration must Tarzan have?
-1.8 m/s2
3B. A diver leaves a 3 m board on a trajectory that takes her 2.5 m above the board, and then into the water a
horizontal distance of 2.6 m from the end of the board. At what speed and angle did she leave the board?
7.15 m/s at

5A. A particle with total energy 4.5 J is trapped in a potential well described by U = 8.0 - 8.0x + 1.7x2, where
U is in joules and x in meters. Find its turning points. (Give the least positive value first.)
x1 =
0.488 m
x2 =
4.22 m
5B. Two clever kids use a huge spring with k = 890 N/m to launch their toboggan at the top of a 9.5 m high hill
(Fig. 7.19). The mass of kids plus toboggan is 70 kg. Assume that the kids manage to compress the spring 3 m.
Neglect friction.

6B. Determine the orbital period of a space telescope which orbits Earth at an altitude of 310 km.
90.6 min
7A. The gravitational acceleration at the surface of a planet is 18.0 m/s2. Find the acceleration at a height
above the surface equal to half the planet's radius.
8 m/s2
7B. white dwarf is a collapsed star with roughly the mass of the Sun compressed into the size of the Earth.
(a) What would be the orbital speed for a spaceship in orbit just above the surface of a white dwarf?
4.56e+06 m/s
(b) What would be the orbital period?
8.77 s
8. What is the mass of a planetary moon whose radius is 14 km and whose surface escape speed is 0.10 m/s?
