A spring is 6.0cm long when it is not stretched, and 10cm long when a 7.0N force is applied. What force is needed to make it 20c

Artist 52 [7]

Answer:

Approximately $25\; {\rm N}$ (assuming that this spring is ideal.)

Explanation:

The displacement of a spring is the new length of the spring relative to the original length.

For example:

When the $6.0\; {\rm cm}$ -spring in this question is stretched to $10\; {\rm cm}$ , the displacement is $x = (10\; {\rm cm} - 6.0\; {\rm cm})$ .
Likewise, if this spring is stretched to $20\; {\rm cm}$ , the displacement would be $(20\; {\rm cm} - 6\; {\rm cm})$ .

If this spring is ideal, the force on the spring would be proportional to the displacement of the spring. In other words, if a force of $F_{\text{a}}$ displaces this spring by $x_{\text{a}}$ , while a force of $F_{\text{b}}$ displaces this spring by $x_{\text{b}}$ , then:

$\displaystyle \frac{F_{\text{a}}}{x_{\text{a}}} = \frac{F_{\text{b}}}{x_{\text{b}}}$ .

In this question, it is given that a force of $F_{\text{a}} = 7.0 \; {\rm N}$ would stretch this spring by $x_{\text{a}} = (10\; {\rm cm} - 6.0\; {\rm cm})$ . Thus, the force $F_{\text{b}}$ required to stretch this spring by $x_{\text{a}} = (20\; {\rm cm} - 6.0\; {\rm cm})$ would satisfy:

$\displaystyle \frac{7.0\; {\rm N}}{10\; {\rm cm} - 6.0\; {\rm cm}}= \frac{F_{\text{b}}}{20\; {\rm cm} - 6.0\; {\rm cm}}$ .

Rearrange and solve for $F_{\text{b}}$ :

$\begin{aligned} F_{\text{b}} &= \frac{7.0\; {\rm N}}{10\; {\rm cm} - 6.0\; {\rm cm}} \, (20\; {\rm cm} - 6.0\; {\rm cm}) \\ &\approx 25\; {\rm N}\end{aligned}$ .

an object of mass 8 kg is whriled round in a vertical circle of radius 2m with a constant speed of 6m/s .Then the maximum and mi

algol13

Answer:

Maximum Tension=224N

Minimum tension= 64N

Explanation:

Given

mass =8 kg

constant speed = 6m/s .

g=10m/s^2

Maximum Tension= [(mv^2/ r) + (mg)]

Minimum tension= [(mv^2/ r) - (mg)]

Then substitute the values,

Maximum Tension= [8 × 6^2)/2 +(8×9.8)] = 224N

Minimum tension= [8 × 6^2)/2 -(8×9.8)]

=64N

Hence, Minimum tension and maximum Tension are =64N and 2224N respectively
