spring stiffness of the bar is equal to 3.1 x 106 N/m, what is the Young’s modulus of aluminum. [AT/1’ A (leq M2) n... y, F/A : kL , (slump/Mm”) i=éZGa (b lOpts) The density of aluminum is 2.7 g/cm3 and the atomic mass is 27 g/mol. What is the interatomic
spring stiffness for aluminum? (c 5pts) If you hit one end of the aluminum bar with a hammer, how long does it take before the other end
of the bar experiences this perturbation? If you were unable to complete part (b), express your answer in
terms of ksfl. (ZSSXIo'mm) Problem 2 (25 Points) A block of mass m hangs from two identical springs each with spring stiffness ks, as show in the accompa-
nying figure. How much does each spring stretch when the block is in static equilibrium? Problem 3 (25 Points) A Ferris wheel is a vertical, circular amuse-
ment ride with radius 5 m. The Ferris wheel
rotates clockwise at a constant rate, going
around once in 10 s. Consider a rider whose
mass is 75 kg and sitting in the fourth seat.
Note that the figure is not to scale and the an- gle between seat four and seat five is actually
6 = 40°. (a 4pts) In the space provided draw a diagram indicating the forces acting on the rider in the fourth seat.
Note that the Ferris wheel rotates at a constant rate. \P/
