B. Does the period depend on the length?
Answer the following questions on a separate paper.
• a) Do you think this system motion would fall under the classification of simple harmonic motion? Provide as much evidences as you can for your answer.
•
• b) Do your answers to A and B above matches a spring/mass system or a pendulum? How so?
•
• c) Do you think this system can be modeled as pendulum, spring, or neither? What are your reasons for each?

A simple pendulum is found to vibrate 50 times within 200 s. When 1.5 m of its length is reduced to a certain length, it vibrates 50 times in 175 s. Find the original length of the pendulum.
A hydraulic press has pistons of area 0.006m' and 0.350m', respectively. A force of 25 N is applied to the smaller piston. (a) What is the lifting force on the bigger piston? (b) Find the pressure exerted on the smaller piston and on the big piston.
You are driving your new taxi cab at the highway. Suddenly, an ambulance speeds off your way at 100km/hr. counter flowing from the usual path and is 30 meters away from you. You glanced at your speedometer and found out your instantaneous speed is 60 km/hr. You must react quickly at split-second to avoid accident. What could be the best thing to do?
