A vertically hung spring has a spring constant of 150. newtons per meter. A

1 answer:

7 0

Based on Hooke's law, the force a spring exerts is negative based on the elongation length. Therefore, since a 2.00 kilogram weight exerts 20 Newtons (gravitation acceleration constant = 10), than the spring must pull back with -20 Newtons. This means that -20 = -kx, where k = spring constant and x = elongation length. k = 150, so that means that x = 20/150, or 2/15 meters.

A cylindrical, 0.500-m rod has a diameter of 0.02 m. The rod is stretched to a length of 0.501 m by a force of 3000 N. What is t

Salsk061 [2.6K]

Answer:

Y = 4.775 x 10⁹ Pa = 4.775 GPa

Explanation:

First, we calculate the stress on the rod:

$stress = \frac{Force}{Area} = \frac{3000\ N}{\pi r^2} \\\\stress = \frac{3000\ N}{\pi (0.01\ m)^2}\\\\stress = 9.55\ x\ 10^6\ Pa = 9.55 MPa\\$

Now, we calculate the strain:

$strain = \frac{Change\ in Length}{Original\ Length}\\\\strain = \frac{0.501\ m - 0.5\ m}{0.5\ m}\\\\strain = 0.002\\$

Now, we will calculate the Young's Modulus (Y):

$Y = \frac{stress}{strain}\\\\Y = \frac{9.55\ x\ 10^6\ Pa}{0.002} \\$

Y = 4.775 x 10⁹ Pa = 4.775 GPa

When biomass is used as a fuel source it is regarded as a Biofuel. Fossil fuel on the other hand take millions of years to form. They too are organic hydrocarbons, primarily coal, fuel oil or natural gas, formed from the remains of plants and animals.
