Answer:
Part a)

Part b)

Explanation:
Part a)
as the mass of the suspension system is given as

also we have

so now for force balance we have



Part b)
Now we know that amplitude decreases by 63% in each cycle
so after one cycle the amplitude will become 37% of initial amplitude
so it is given as

also we know




here t = time period of one oscillation
so it is



now damping constant is


Answer:
D) True. This is what creates the body weight
Explanation:
Let's write Newton's second law for this case. For inclined planes the reference system takes one axis parallel to the plane (x axis) and the other perpendicular to the plane (y axis)
X axis
Wx -fr = ma
Y Axis
N - Wy = 0
With trigonometry we can find the components of weight
sin θ = Wₓ / W
cos θ =
/ W
Wₓ = W sin θ
= W cos θ
W sin θ - fr = ma
From this expression as it indicates that the body is descending the force greater is the gravity that create the weight of the body
Let's examine the answers
A False This force does not apply because it is not a spring
B) False. It is balanced at all times with the component (Wy) of the weight
C) False. For there to be a rope, if it exists you should be less than the weight component for the block to lower
D) True. This is what creates the body weight
E) False. The cutting force occurs for force applied at a single point and gravity is applied at all points
Answer: 2700 Joules
Explanation:
Given variables are:
Workdone (w) = ?
Weight of sack (w) = 15N
Time taken (t) = 3 minutes
The standard unit of time is seconds, so convert 3 minutes to seconds
(If 1 minute = 60 seconds
3 minutes = 3 x 60 = 180 seconds)
Recall that work is done is when force is applied on an object over a distance
i.e Workdone = force x distance.
(However, the force acting on the sack of potatoes is weight)
Hence, workdone = weight x time
w = 15N x 180 seconds
w = 2700 J
thus, 2700 joules of work was done.
