13. Copyright © 2007, Pearson Education, Inc., Publishing as Pearson Addison-Wesley. Example A 2-m-long board weighing 50 N extends out over the edge of a table, with 40% of the board’s length off the table. How far beyond the table edge can a 25 N cat walk before the board begins to tilt? Slide 8-13

14. Copyright © 2007, Pearson Education, Inc., Publishing as Pearson Addison-Wesley. The Spring Force The magnitude of the spring force is proportional to the displacement of its end: Slide 8-14 F sp = k ∆x

15. Copyright © 2007, Pearson Education, Inc., Publishing as Pearson Addison-Wesley. The spring force is directed oppositely to the displacement. We can then write Hooke’s law as Hooke’s Law Slide 8-15 (F sp ) x = –k ∆x

18. Copyright © 2007, Pearson Education, Inc., Publishing as Pearson Addison-Wesley. Checking Understanding The same spring is stretched or compressed as shown below. In which case does the force exerted by the spring have the largest magnitude? Slide 8-18

19. Copyright © 2007, Pearson Education, Inc., Publishing as Pearson Addison-Wesley. The same spring is stretched or compressed as shown below. In which case does the force exerted by the spring have the largest magnitude? Slide 8-19 Answer

20. Copyright © 2007, Pearson Education, Inc., Publishing as Pearson Addison-Wesley. Example A 20-cm-long spring is attached to a wall. When pulled horizontally with a force of 100 N, the spring stretches to a length of 22 cm. What is the value of the spring constant? Slide 8-20

21. Copyright © 2007, Pearson Education, Inc., Publishing as Pearson Addison-Wesley. Example The same spring is now used in a tug-of-war. Two people pull on the ends, each with a force of 100 N. How long is the spring while it is being pulled? Slide 8-21

22. Copyright © 2007, Pearson Education, Inc., Publishing as Pearson Addison-Wesley. Example A spring with spring constant k = 125 N/m is used to pull a 25 N wooden block horizontally across a tabletop. The coefficient of friction between the block and the table is µ k = 0.20. By how much does this spring stretch from its equilibrium length? Slide 8-22

23. Copyright © 2007, Pearson Education, Inc., Publishing as Pearson Addison-Wesley. The Springiness of Materials: Young’s Modulus The force exerted by a stretched or compressed rod has the same form as Hooke’s law: Y is Young’s modulus, which depends on the material that the rod is made of.
