Three identical 5.88-kg masses hang at rest from three identical springs, numbered as in the figure. Each spring has an unstretched length of 0.12 m and a spring constant of 9.38 kN/m. How long, L, is spring 2? [Hint: Draw some FBDs and apply Newton's second law. Remember to account for both the spring's stretch and its unstretched length.] 3 WWWWWWW m L = __ m BA D 1634850 10:52 PM

5. A 60 kg circus performer is swinging from a trapeze bar.A: She is 10 m off the ground with a speed v1. The spring-board platform below her is atits equilibrium length.B: She lets go of the trapeze bar and lands on th spring-board platform, which compresseswhen she lands on it. When she is stationary, she is 2 m off the ground and the springis maximally compressed.C: The spring-board extends and launches her back into the air. As soon as the spring istotally relaxed again, the performer is 3 m off the ground and has a speed v2.D: The performer lands on a platform 10 m above the floor, and she stands stationary. a. Her initial speed v1 = 10 m/s. What is her total energy at point A? b. Between points A and B, assume none of her energy is lost to heat or friction.
