A body builder exerts a force of 150 N against a bullworker and compresses it by 20 cm. Caculate the spring constant of the spring in te bullworker.

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To calculate the spring constant of the spring in the bullworker, we can use Hooke's Law, which states that the force exerted by a spring is directly proportional to the displacement or compression of the spring. The formula is given by: \[ F = kx \] Where: - \( F \) is the force applied (in Newtons), - \( k \) is the spring constant (in Newtons per meter), - \( x \) is the compression or extension of the spring (in meters). ...

A spring having a spring constant k is fixed to a vertical wall as shown in Fig. A block of mass m moves with velocity v torards the spring from a parallel wall opposite to this wall.

In this process, it regains its angular speed in the opposite direction and makes a perfect elastice collision on the opposite left wall and starts moving with same speed as before towards right. The above processes are repeated and there is periodic oscillation. Q. What is the time period of oscillation ?
