    Physics 02-04 Tension, Hookes Law, Drag, and Equilibrium

    Uploaded by

    Amelia Rahmawati
    Hooke's law relates the spring force (FS) to the displacement (Δx) of an object from its equilibrium position via the spring constant (k). Drag force (FD) on an object moving through a fluid depends on the fluid's density (ρ), the object's cross-sectional area (A) and velocity (v), and a drag coefficient (C). Systems in equilibrium experience no net force and no acceleration. Examples include a skydiver with an open parachute approaching the ground at constant velocity and a mountain climber resting on a rope between two cliffs.

    A toy plastic bunny is connected to its base by a spring. The spring is compressed and a suction cup on the bunny holds it to the
    base so that the bunny doesn't move. If the spring is compressed 3 cm and has a constant of 330 N/m, how much force must the
    suction cup provide?
