the bottom it has a velocity of v = 1.75 m/s. A clear free body diagram
and separate force diagram for the block are essential for full credit.

47. A block moves on the frictionless loop-the-loop shown. The initial position is at a height h and has an initial
ovelocity v . The block is to be considered very small.
o(a) If h = 2R, calculate the minimum value of v so that the block
remains in contact with the loop all the way around.

block at C, exactly at the bottom. (At C, the track is curved in
the circular shape of the loop with radius R.)

50.0 The block, as shown in the drawing, is launched up the incline with
oan initial velocity of v = 4.00 m/s. A very weak spring with k = 20.0
N/m is placed on the top of the incline a distance l.00 m from the
block. The block hits the spring, compresses it and stops. (No
energy is lost when the block hits the spring.)
(a) What is the maximum compression of the spring?
(b) The spring launches the block back. What will be the velocity
of the block when it is again 1.00 m from the spring (at its
initial position)?

51. A small sphere of mass m = 2.30 kg is attached to a massless, rigid rod. The
length of the rod is 0.870 cm, and it is pivoted at point P. The spring has a
spring constant of 205 N/m. It is initially squeezed 0.25 m from its equilibrium
length, and is in contact with the sphere. The left end of the spring is rigidly
fixed.
(a) Calculate the speed of the sphere at A (directly above P).
(b) Determine the force on the sphere due to the rod, including direction (in
or out), at A.
(c) What is the minimum compression of the spring such that the sphere
reaches point A, directly above P.
52. The block shown starts at rest and slides 1.25 m before striking the spring. The
s kcoefficients of friction are : = 0.70 and : = 0.60. The mass of the block is .375
kg. The spring constant is 210 N/m.

point when the block first comes to v = 0.
(b) What is the maximum distance back up the plane the block will slide.
Measure this from A, the equilibrium point of the spring.
53. A massless Hooke's Law spring has an unsqueezed, unstretched length of 1.90
m. When a 12.0 kg mass is placed on it, and slowly lowered until the mass is
at rest, the spring is squeezed to 1.75 m in length. Now, with the 12.0 kg mass
removed, drop a 10.0 kg mass from a height of 4.25 m above the spring.
