The work done (in foot-pounds) in stretching the spring from its natural length to 0.7 feet beyond its natural length is 1.23 foot-pound

<h3>Data obtained from the question</h3>

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

  • Force (F) = 3 pounds
  • Extension (e) = 0.6 feet
  • Work done (Wd) =?

<h3>How to determine the spring constant</h3>
  • Force (F) = 3 pounds
  • Extension (e) = 0.6 feet
  • Spring constant (K) =?

F = Ke

Divide both sides by e

K = F/ e

K = 3 / 0.6

K = 5 pound/foot

Thus, the spring constant of the spring is 5 pound/foot

<h3>How to determine the work done</h3>
  • Spring constant (K) = 5 pound/foot
  • Extention (e) = 0.7 feet
  • Work done (Wd) =?

Wd = ½Ke²

Wd = ½ × 5 × 0.7²

Wd = 2.5 × 0.49

Wd = 1.23 foot-pound

Therefore, the work done in stretching the spring 0.7 feet is 1.23 foot-pound

Natasha_Volkova [10]

Answer:

3/5

Step-by-step explanation:

To have the best chance of pulling a pair with the same color you should try to get a pair of black socks. There is a 3/5 chance of pulling a black sock so this means for every 5 socks you pull you get 3 black socks or 2 navy socks. Either way you will get a pair of socks with the same color. (Double check to make sure I'm correct)

A rancher wishes to build a fence to enclose a 2250 square yard rectangular field. Along one side the fence is to be made of hea
Bess [88]

Answer:

The least cost of fencing for the rancher is $1200

Step-by-step explanation:

Let <em>x</em> be the width and <em>y </em>the length of the rectangular field.

Let <em>C </em>the total cost of the rectangular field.

The side made of heavy duty material of length of <em>x </em>costs 16 dollars a yard. The three sides not made of heavy duty material cost $4 per yard, their side lengths are <em>x, y, y</em>.  Thus

C=4x+4y+4y+16x\\C=20x+8y

We know that the total area of rectangular field should be 2250 square yards,

x\cdot y=2250

We can say that y=\frac{2250}{x}

Substituting into the total cost of the rectangular field, we get

C=20x+8(\frac{2250}{x})\\\\C=20x+\frac{18000}{x}

We have to figure out where the function is increasing and decreasing. Differentiating,

\frac{d}{dx}C=\frac{d}{dx}\left(20x+\frac{18000}{x}\right)\\\\C'=20-\frac{18000}{x^2}

Next, we find the critical points of the derivative

20-\frac{18000}{x^2}=0\\\\20x^2-\frac{18000}{x^2}x^2=0\cdot \:x^2\\\\20x^2-18000=0\\\\20x^2-18000+18000=0+18000\\\\20x^2=18000\\\\\frac{20x^2}{20}=\frac{18000}{20}\\\\x^2=900\\\\\mathrm{For\:}x^2=f\left(a\right)\mathrm{\:the\:solutions\:are\:}x=\sqrt{f\left(a\right)},\:\:-\sqrt{f\left(a\right)}\\\\x=\sqrt{900},\:x=-\sqrt{900}\\\\x=30,\:x=-30

Because the length is always positive the only point we take is x=30. We thus test the intervals (0, 30) and (30, \infty)

C'(20)=20-\frac{18000}{20^2} = -25 < 0\\\\C'(40)= 20-\frac{18000}{20^2} = 8.75 >0

we see that total cost function is decreasing on (0, 30) and increasing on (30, \infty). Therefore, the minimum is attained at x=30, so the minimal cost is

C(30)=20(30)+\frac{18000}{30}\\C(30)=1200

The least cost of fencing for the rancher is $1200

mafiozo [28]

Answer:

\lim_{x \to 2} (x+1)(3x^2-9) = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Write out limit

\lim_{x \to 2} (x+1)(3x^2-9)

Step 2: Evaluate

(2 + 1)(3(2)² - 9)

3(3(4) - 9)

3(12 - 9)
