with a block mass... need help plz? A spring 1.50 m long with force constant 428 N/m is hung from the ceiling of an elevator, and a block of mass 10.4 kg is attached to the bottom of the spring.
(a) By how much is the spring stretched when the block is slowly lowered to its equilibrium point? answer in m
(b) If the elevator subsequently accelerates upward at 1.84 m/s2, what is the position of the block, taking the equilibrium position found in part (a) as y = 0 and upwards as the positive y-direction. answer in m
(c) If the elevator cable snaps during the acceleration, describe the subsequent motion of the block relative to the freely falling elevator. What is the amplitude of its motion? answer in m
