A single mass (m1Â = 4 kg) hangs from a spring in a motionless elevator. The spring constant is k = 335 N/m.1)
What is the distance the spring is stretched from its unstretched length?

Now, three masses (m1Â = 4 kg, m2Â = 12 kg and m3Â = 8) hang from three identical springs in a motionless elevator. The springs all have the same spring constant given above. What is the magnitude of the force the bottom spring exerts on the lower mass?

Now the elevator is moving downward with a velocity of v = -3.8 m/s but accelerating upward at an acceleration of a = 5.5 m/s2. (Note: an upward acceleration when the elevator is moving down means the elevator is slowing down.) What is the magnitude of the force the upper spring exerts on the upper mass?

Finally, the elevator is moving downward with a velocity of v = -2.1 m/s but accelerating downward at an acceleration of a = -1.7 m/s2. Compare the magnitude of the NET force on each mass:
F1Â = F2Â = F3
F1Â > F2Â > F3
F2Â > F3Â > F1
