In the system of two blocks and a spring shown above, blocks 1 and 2 are connected by a string that passes over a pulley. The initially un-stretched spring connects block 1 to a rigid wall. Block 1 is released from rest, slides to the right and is eventually brought to rest by the spring and by friction on the horizontal surface.
Which of the following is true of the energy of the system during this process?
(A) The total mechanical energy of the system is conserved.
(B) The total mechanical energy of the system increases.
(C) The energy lost to friction is equal to the gain in the potential energy of the spring.
(D) The potential energy lost by block 2 is less in magnitude than the potential energy gained by the spring.
(E) The potential energy lost by block 2 is greater in magnitude than the potential energy gained by the spring.

The frequency of vibrations of a vibrating violin string is given by f = 1 2l t ρ where l is the length of the string, t is its tension, and ρ is its linear density.† (a) find the rate of change of the frequency with respect to the following. (i) the length (when t and ρ are constant) (ii) the tension (when l and ρ are constant) (iii) the linear density (when l and t are constant) (b) the pitch of a note (how high or low the note sounds) is determined by the frequency f. (the higher the frequency, the higher the pitch.) use the signs of the derivatives in part (a) to determine what happens to the pitch of a note for the following. (i) when the effective length of a string is decreased by placing a finger on the string so a shorter portion of the string vibrates df dl 0 and l is ⇒ f is ⇒ (ii) when the tension is increased by turning a tuning peg df dt 0 and t is ⇒ f is ⇒ (iii) when the linear density is increased by switching to another string df dρ 0 and ρ is ⇒ f is ⇒
