\sf\large \green{\underbrace{\red{Answer⋆}}}:

(a) R2, R3 are parallel and series with R1

(b) R1, R2 and R3 are in parallel

Explanation:

\sf R_1 = 2  \: ohm\\  \sf R_2 = 3 \: ohm \\  \sf  R_3 = 6 \: ohm

(a)

\sf R_2   \: and \: R_3 \: are \: in \: parallel \\ \sf so \: let \: the \: total \: of \: R_2 \: and \: R_3 \: be \: R_a

\sf  \large \frac{1}{R_a}  =  \frac{1}{R_2}  +  \frac{1}{R_3}  \: as \: they \: are \: in \: parallel

\sf R_a =  \frac{1}{3}  +  \frac{1}{6}  \\  \\  \sf  \frac{1}{R_a}  =  \frac{2 + 1}{6}  \\  \\  \sf \frac{1}{R_a}   =  \frac{3}{6}  \\  \\  \sf  \frac{1}{R_a}  =  \frac{1}{2}  \\  \\  \sf R_a = 2 \: ohm

Ra and R1 is in series

And there total will be R

\sf R = R_a + R_1 \\  \\  \sf R = 2 + 2 \\  \\  \sf R = 4 \: ohm

(b)

\sf R_1 R_2 \: and \:R_3 \: are \: in \: parallel \: so \: total \: be \: R

\sf \frac{1}{R}  =  \frac{1}{R_1}  +  \frac{1}{R_2}  +  \frac{1}{R_3}  \\  \\   \sf   \frac{1}{R}  =  \frac{1}{2}  +  \frac{1}{3}  +  \frac{1}{ 6}  \\  \\  \sf  \frac{1}{R}  =  \frac{3+ 2 +1 }{6}  \\  \\  \sf  \frac{1}{R}  =  \frac{6}{6}  \\  \\  \sf R = 1 \: ohm

inysia [295]
<span>Yes, there are! r1 and r2 are numbers. The volume of the hollow shell is 4 π 3 ( r 3 1 − r 3 2 ) 4π3(r13−r23). Now multiply by ρ to get the mass.</span>

If a 4N weight is hung on a spring, and it extends by 0.2m, what is the spring constant (k)?
Naddika [18.5K]

Answer: 200 N/m

Explanation:

The Gravitational spring energy(Us) is equal to 1/2kx^2. So we have x as .2 m and Us as 4 N. So 4 N = 1/2 * k * .2^2. So now we solve for K and get 200 N/m.
