In the first case, the force acting on the spring is the weight of the mass:
F=mg=(2.0 kg)(9.81 m/s^2)=19.6N
This force causes a stretching of x=6.4 cm=0.064 m on the spring, so we can use these data to find the spring constant:
k= \frac{F}{x}= \frac{19.6 N}{0.064 m}=306.3 N/m

In the second case, the first mass is replaced with a second mass, whose weight is
F=mg=(2.5 kg)(9.81 m/s^2)=24.5 N
And since we know the spring constant, we can calculate the new elongation of the spring:
x= \frac{F}{k}= \frac{24.5 N}{306.3 N/m}=0.080 m=8.0 cm

A car moves at speed v across a bridge made in the shape of a circular arc of radius r. (a) Find an expression for the normal fo
inna [77]

Answer:

(a) FN = m (g - \frac{v^{2} }{r})

(b) vmin = 17.146 m/s

Explanation:

The radius of the arc is

r = 30m

The normal force acting on the car form the highest point is

FN = m (g - \frac{v^{2} }{r})

If the normal force become 0 we have

m (g - \frac{v^{2} }{r}) = 0

or

g - \frac{v^{2} }{r} = 0

This way, when FN = 0, then v = vmin, so

g - \frac{vmin^{2} }{r} = 0

vmin = \sqrt[.]{g*r} = \sqrt[.]{9.8 m/s^{2} * 30m } = 17.146 m/s

For safety reasons, a worker’s eye travel time in a certain operation must be separated from the manual elements that follow. Th
iogann1982 [59]

Answer:

The answer is 12.67 TMU

Explanation:

Recall that,

worker’s eyes travel  distance must be = 20 in.

The perpendicular distance from her eyes to the line of travel is =24 in

What is the MTM-1 normal time in TMUs that should be allowed for the eye travel element = ?

Now,

We solve for the given problem.

Eye travel is = 15.2 * T/D

=15.2 * 20 in/24 in

so,

= 12.67 TMU

Therefore, the MTM -1 of normal time that should be allowed for the eye  travel element is = 12.67 TMU

How many turns are in its secondary coil, if its input voltage is 120 V and the primary coil has 210 turns
Tasya [4]

Complete Question

How many turns are in its secondary coil, if its input voltage is 120 V and the primary coil has 210 turns.

The output from the secondary coil is  12 V

Answer:

The value  is  N_s  =  21 \  turns

Explanation:

From the equation we are told that

   The input voltage is  V_{in}  = 120 \ V

   The number of turns of the primary coil is N_p =  210 \  turn

    The output from the secondary is V_o =  12V

From the transformer equation

   \frac{N_p}{V_{in}}  =\frac{N_s}{V_o}

Here N_s is the number of turns in the secondary coil

=> N_s  =  \frac{N_p}{V_{in}}  *  V_s

=>N_s  =  \frac{210}{120}  *  12

=>N_s  =  21 \  turns
