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

What is k/5.2 + 81.9= 47.2
weqwewe [10]
Solution for k/5.2+81.9=47.2 equation:
<span>k in (-oo:+oo)

k/5.2+81.9 = 47.2 // - 47.2

k/5.2-47.2+81.9 = 0

0.19230769*k-47.2+81.9 = 0 // - 81.9-47.2

0.19230769*k = -(81.9-47.2) // : 0.19230769

k = (-(81.9-47.2))/0.19230769

k = 5.20000006*(47.2-81.9)

k = 5.20000006*(47.2-81.9)

Always Practice, It makes Perfect! Anyways, I hope I helped... It would be nice if you can answer mine too, But you dont have to! ;) </span><span>brainly.com/question/253764

Because the two angles add up to equal 90, you would make an equation set to equal 90. On the other end you add the measures of your angles together because they are adding up to equal 90. This would look like 2x+5+35=90 and you solve from here. Add like terms making it 2x+40=90 then you subtract 40 from both sides making it 2x=50 and then divide by 2 on both sides which leaves you with x=25.
