Ther you suddenly start applying a larger upward force, of constant magnitude F 147 N (which is greater than 2Mg). The diagram shows the situation some time later, when the blocks have moved upward, and the spring stretch has increased. initially 2/ y1y Floor The heights of the centers of the two blocks are as follows Initial and final positions of block 1: Y -0.2 m, yr 0.3 m Initial and final positions of block 2: y2i 0.6 m, y2 0.9 m It helps to show these heights on a diagram. Note that the initial center of mass of the two blocks is ( Y2v2, and the final center of mass of the two blocks is (V22.

Explanation / Answer

Given that,

m = 5 kg

F = 147 kg

(a)

Translational KE of two blocks,

KEt = (F - W) * [(y1f + y2f / 2) - (y1i + y2i / 2)]

KEt = (147 - 2*5*9.8) * [(0.3 + 0.9 / 2) - (0.2 + 0.6 / 2)]

KEt = 49 * 0.2

KEt = 9.8 J

(b)

lncrease in vibrational KE of blocks,

delta KEvib = F*(y2f - y2i) - 2*m*g*[(y1f + y2f / 2) - (y1i + y2i / 2)] - KEt

deltaKEvib = 147*(0.9 - 0.3) - 2*5*9.8*0.2 - 9.8

deltaKEvib = 58.8 J
