Answer:

Work done in stretching the spring = 7.56 lb-ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

Normal length of the spring = 8 in or \frac{8}{12} ft

= \frac{2}{3} ft

If the spring has been stretched to 11 inch then the stretched length of the spring is = 11 in

= \frac{11}{12} ft

Force applied to stretch the spring = 12 lb

By Hook's law,

F = kx [where k is the spring constant and x = length by which the spring is stretched]

12 = k(\frac{2}{3})

k = 18

Work done (W) to stretch the spring by \frac{11}{12} ft will be

W = \int\limits^\frac{11}{12} _0 {kx} \, dx

    = \int\limits^\frac{11}{12} _0 {(18x)} \, dx

    = 18[\frac{x^{2}}{2}]^{\frac{11}{12}}_0

    = 9(\frac{11}{12})²

    = 7.56 lb-ft

Answer:

x = 13

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of the exterior angles of a 4 sided polygon is 360

139+ 6x+9x+2x = 360

Combine like terms

139+17x=360

Subtract 139 from each side

17x = 360-139

17x = 221

Divide each side by 17

17x/17 = 221/17

x = 13
