Spring Force
When a spring is
compressed or
stretched, it exerts a
force on the object
that compresses or
stretches it.
Force is opposite to
change of length of
spring

Hooke’s Law
Spring force is given by F k x
or
F kx
F: Force exerts by spring, not by you
k: Spring constant, property of spring, stiffness of
spring (larger k, stiffer spring)
x: Displacement of (end of) spring from equilibrium
position, x
-: F and x are in opposite direction
Notice that this force is the force exerted by the spring, not
the force you apply to compress or stretch the spring.

(4.0 N)i – (2.0 N)j + (9.0 N)k while having a velocity v
= -(2.0 m/s)i + (4.0 m/s)k. What is the instantaneous
rate at which the force does work on the particle?
At some other time, the velocity consists of only a j
component. If the force is unchanged, and the
instantaneous power is –12 W, what is the velocity of
the particle just then?

A fully loaded, slow-moving freight
elevator has a cab with a total mass
of 1200 kg, which is required to
travel upward 54 m in 3.0 min. The
elevator’s counterweight has a
mass of only 950 kg. so, the
elevator motor must help pull the
cab upward. What average power
(in horsepower) is required of the
force that motor exerts on the cab
via the cable?
30
Solution: Pg162-45
me 1200kg , mc 950kg , h 54m, t 3min
P?
Three things doing work:
Work done by gravity on elevator cab:
We = -meg h = -1200kg 9.8m/s2 54 m = -6.35 105 J
Work done by gravity on counterweight:
Wc = -mcgh = -950kg 9.8m/s2 (-54 m) = 5.03 105 J
Work done by motor:
Wm = ?
Constant velocity: W = 0 Wm + We + Wc = 0
So, Wm = -(We + Wc ) = - (-6.35 105 J + 5.03 105 J) = 1.32 105 J
Then average power is

Wm 1.32 105 J min

Another approach
The motor essentially needs to do work to raise the cab (1200 kg) 54
m and lower the counterweight (950kg) 54 m. So equivalently, the
motor needs to do work to raise a mass of 250 kg (1200kg –
950kg) 54 m.
The force needed is

Reference Frames
Invariant quantities: quantities measured exactly
the same at different inertial reference frames
–
Variant quantities:
–
force, mass, acceleration, time
displacement, velocity
Principle of Invariance:
The laws of physics must have the same form in
all inertial reference frames.
