A vibration sensor, used in testing a washing machine, consists of a cube of aluminum 1.50 cm on edge mounted on one end of a strip of spring steel (like a hacksaw blade) that lies in a vertical plane. The strips mass is small compared with that of the cube, but the strips length is large compared with the size of the cube. The other end of the strip is clamped to the frame of the washing machine that is not operating. A horizontal force of 1.43 N applied to the cube is required to hold it 2.75 cm away from its equilibrium position. If it is released, what is its frequency of vibration?
There is a compressed spring between two laboratory carts of masses m1 and m2. Initially, the carts are held at rest on a horizontal track (Fig. P10.40A).

A bumper, consisting of a nest of three springs, is used to arrest the horizontal motion of a large mass which is traveling at 62 ft/sec as it contacts the bumper. The two outer springs cause a deceleration proportional to the spring deformation. The center spring increases the deceleration rate when the compression exceeds 8 in. as shown on the graph. Determine the maximum compression x of the outer springs. Deceleration ft/sec 6000 4000 2000 x, in. 16 8 62 ft/sec Answer:x = i ! in.
