A spring balance is attached to the ceiling of a lift. When the lift is at rest spring balance reads 49 N of a body hang on it. If the lift moves: (i) Downward (ii) upward, with an acceleration of 5 ms^(-2) (iii) with a constant velocity. What will be the reading of the balance in each case?

A body of mass m is attached to the spring which is elongated to 25 cm by an applied for from its equilibrium position, (a) Calculate the potential energy stored in the spring-mass system? (b) What is the work done by the spring force in this elongation? (C) Suppose the spring is compressed to the same 25 cm, calculate the potential energy stored and also the work done by the spring force during compression. (The spring constant, k=0.1Nm^(-1)) .

A mass M attached to a spring oscillates with a period of 2 sec . If the mass is increased by 2 kg , the period increase by the second. Find the initial mass m assuming that Hook's law is obeyed.

A spring compressed by 10 cm develops a restoring force of 10 N.A body of mass 9 kg is placed on it . What is the force constant of the spring ?

A circular disc of mass 10 kg is suspended by a wire attached to its centre. The wire is twisted by rotating the disc and released. The period of torsional oscillations is found to be 1.5 s. The radius of the disc is 15 cm. Determine the torsional spring constant of the wire. (Torsional spring constant a is defined by the relation J = –alphatheta , where J is the restoring couple and q the angle of twist).
