Name: Block: Date: Physies 11: Hooke’s Law Worksheet 4. (a) What isthe formula relating the force of a spring and its distortion? (b) EXPLAIN WHY its negative, 2. Aforce of 16 N is required to stretch a spring a distance of 40 em from its rest position. What force (in Newtons) is required to stretch the same spring: a) twice the distance? b) three times the distance?, c) one-half the distance? 3, Amass of §.0 ke will stretch a vertial spring 3.25 em. Draw a free body diagram (include all relevant forces and values) and calculate the spring constant. 4, Ahorizontal steel spring has a spring constant of 40.0 N/m. What force must be applied to the spring in order to compress It by 10.0 em? 5. When a 14.0 kg mass hangs from a spring that has a spring constant of 550 N/m, the spring has a length of 82 cm. Determine the length of the spring before any force is applied to It Physics 11: Hooke’ Law Worksheet Name: Block: Date: 6. Calculate the spring constant of your lab bench ifit is known to bend down by 0.10 mm when a 75 kg student stands on it 7. Spring A will stretch vertically by 20.0 cm when it has a 1.00 kg mass hanging from it. Spring B will stretch vertically by 50,0em when it has a 1.00 kg mass hanging from it. a) Drawa free body diagram for Spring A and include all relevant forces and values. Draw a free body diagram for Spring B and include all relevant forces and values. b) Calculate the spring constant of A. Calculate the spring constant of B d) Suppose that the 1.00 kg mass is hanging from the end of A, which is hanging from B. Assuming that the mass of the springs is negligible, calculate the total amount of stretching, fe). Caleulate the spring constant of the system in part (d) Physics 11: Hooke's Law Worksheet 2
