Question

A spring supporting a mass of 30 kg compresses 0.6 m. how far does the spring compress when it supports a mass of 10 kg? 0.1 m 0.2 m 1.2 m 1.8 m

Answer 1

The spring .2m far when it is compressed on being supported by a mass of 10kg.

Given: Mass of 30 kg which compresses spring by 0.6m

To find: The compression of the spring when it is supported by a mass of 10 kg

Concept: Compression springs are coiled springs that hold mechanical energy in a compressed state. When these springs are subjected to compressive loads, they compress and shorten, capturing and storing significant potential force.

The unitary method is a technique for solving a problem by first finding the value of a single unit, and then finding the necessary value by multiplying the single unit value.

By using unitary method,

10 is 3 times less than 30.

so, 30/3=10

Also applying the same proportion over the lengths compressed,

we get, 0.6/3=.2
