Answer:

212N/m

Explanation:

First of all, what is spring constant
As per Hooke's law, The restoring force applied by the spring is proportional to the change in length, and restoring force is directed towards the equilibrium position. The proportionality constant is called the spring constant and it is a measure of the stiffness of the spring. So as Hooke's law

F = -Kx

Where

F -> Restoring force

K-> Spring constant

x -> change in length

the negative sign indicates it is acting toward the center

Rearranging this for the Spring constant, Spring constant formula is given by

k = Fx

Unit of Spring Constant is Newton/meter

A circular-motion addict of mass 80 kg rides a Ferris wheel around in a vertical circle of radius 10 m at a constant speed of 6.

bekas [8.4K]

Answer with Explanation:

We are given that

Mass=80 kg

Radius,r=10 m

Speed,v=6.1 m/s

a.Time period,T= $\frac{2\pi r}{v}=\frac{2\pi\times 10}{6.1}=10.3 s$

b. $F_N=mg-\frac{mv^2}{r}$

Substitute the values

$F_N=80\times 9.8-\frac{80\times(6.1)^2}{10}=486 N$

c. $F_N=mg+\frac{mv^2}{r}$

Substitute the values

$F_N=80\times 9.8+\frac{80\times (6.1)^2}{10}=1081.7 N$
