Spring's broken?

The force from the spring is Hooke's Law.

And in that case, the spring would just start moving on its own.

You'll never make the quarry in this truck. Your spring's broken.

And all of these are the same principles that apply to the saddle shaped spring in stomatopods.

Let's say I have some external force right here on the spring, and, of course, let's say it's ice on ice.

So sort of an interesting strange fact to find a visual structure right in the middle of their spring.

And I'll say this is a positive rightward direction, so it's that force, and then you have a minus force from the spring.

And again, that brings us back to the importance of that spring in storing up and releasing so much energy in this system.

So, the saddles that saddle shaped spring has actually been well known to biologists for a long time, not as a spring but as a visual signal.

And these animals may very well be making use of not only the force and the energy stored with that specialized spring, but the extremes of the fluid dynamics.

So if this outside force was some type of Dirac delta function so let's say it's t minus 2 is equal to our mass times y prime prime plus our spring constant times y, this is saying that at time is equal to 2 seconds, we're just going to jar this thing to the right.

And these animals may very well be making use of not only the force and the energy stored with that specialized spring, but the extremes of the fluid dynamics. And they might actually be making use of fluid dynamics as a second force for breaking the snail.

Instead, they paid far more for clunkier watches that can lose minutes every month, and that will stop if you forget to wind them for a day or two (if they have an automatic mechanism, they will stop if you don t move them).
