A 0.5750 kg chihuahua forgoes it's water dish and approaches the toilet to quench its thirst. But the dogs owners have rigged up a detergent! The device placed inside consists of a spring- loaded (k = 255.0N/m) claw of mass 252.0g. The device is armed by stretching the spring upward by 25.00 cm where a ratchet locks it in place. When the chihuahua steps on the toilet seat, a pressure sensor is tripped. The claw clamps down on the chihuahua, and the spring sucks claw and dog down into the toilet, At this point the claw releases to allow efficient flushing. Determine the chihuahua's speed as it hits the water. A 0.5750 kg chihuahua forgoes it's water dish and approaches the toilet to quench its thirst. But the dogs owners have rigged up a detergent!
