1. A 200 g block hangs from a spring with spring constant of 10 N/m. At time t=0s the
block is 20cm below the equilibrium point and moving upward with a speed of 100 cm/s.
What is the blocks oscillation frequency?
f=
Hz
2. Hail rains onto a flat 5.0 m2 roof. Half the stones bounce off and the other half remain
on the roof. If the roof can maximally withstand 500 N/m2 of force, at what rate can it
hail onto the roof (hailstones/s) before the roof collapses? Each hailstone weighs 25 g
and has a terminal speed of 25 m/s.

7. A uniform sphere of mass M=2kg and radius r=30cm rolls perfectly down a plane with
friction (s=0.6, k=0.2) inclined at an angle =30 degrees with respect to the horizontal.

directly above the centre of mass, by the time the wheel has dropped a vertical distance
of 2m.

9. A continuous harmonic wave travels to the left, with speed v=3m/s, along an infinite
string. A point on the string experiences an acceleration that varies with time, ranging in
magnitude from 0 to 25 m/s2. The vertical distance between the points of maximum
upward and maximum downward acceleration is 5cm. Find the wavelength of the wave.

6. A lineman (mass m = 75 kg) sits on top of a vertical telephone pole (10.0 m tall and
mass of 175 kg) that is starting to tip because it hasnt been anchored in the ground
properly. To minimize the speed at which hell hit the ground, he decides to hold unto
the pole until his tangential acceleration equals the acceleration of gravity, g, and then let
go.

from the top of the telephone pole ?

pole?
