Molecules like DNA may be stretched and are well modeled as springs. An optical trap can pull with a maximum force of 11 fN (femto-Newtons) and can stretch a DNA molecule by 0.06μm . What is the spring constant of the molecule?

Experiments using "optical tweezers" measure the elasticity of individual DNA molecules. For small enough changes in length, the elasticity has the same form as that of a spring. A DNA molecule is anchored at one end, then a force of 1.5 nN (1.5 times 10^-9 N) pulls on the other end, causing the molecule to stretch by 5.0 nm (5.0 times 10^-9 m),as shown in the figure.(p.s. The source of the external force is the laser beam that traps and...

It has recently become possible to "weigh" DNA molecules by measuring the influence of their mass on a nano-oscillator. Figure shows a thin rectangular cantilever etched out of silicon (density 2300 kg/m3) with a small gold dot at the end. If pulled down and released, the end of the cantilever vibrates with simple harmonic motion, moving up and down like a diving board after a jump. When bathed with DNA molecules whose ends have been modified to bind with gold,...

Some types of molecules that do not possess an intrinsic electric dipole moment can be given one by an external electric field in a process called charge separation, or polarization. In this process, their internal charge distribution becomes distorted by the field, which results in the region of a molecule on the side in the direction of the field gaining a positive net charge and the region on the other side gaining a negative net charge. Both charges have equal...

For my lab a 50g mass is on a spring. The spring is pulled down
a different length for each trial and then released. What would the
amplitude of motion be for this experiment and how can I test that
the frequency is independent from the amplitude.
In cases where the restoring force is proportional to the amount of displacement from the oquilibrium position, the object undergoes simple harmonic motion (SHM). An object on a spring is the simplest example...

10. Write a one-page summary of the attached paper? INTRODUCTION Many problems can develop in activated sludge operation that adversely affect effluent quality with origins in the engineering, hydraulic and microbiological components of the process. The real "heart" of the activated sludge system is the development and maintenance of a mixed microbial culture (activated sludge) that treats wastewater and which can be managed. One definition of a wastewater treatment plant operator is a "bug farmer", one who controls the aeration...
