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

Tim wants to buy several pairs of jeans. He compares the prices at a store in his neighborhood and at an online store. He finds
iogann1982 [59]

Answer:

2 orders

Step-by-step explanation:

Step one:

given data

The local store sells at $24 per pair of jeans

Cost = $24

The online store sells at $22 per pair plus a shipping fee of $6 per order

let the number of orders be x

Cost= 22+6x

For 1 order

the online store will cost

Cost= 22+6*1

Cost= 22+6

Cost= $28

For 2 orders

The local shop cost

Cost= 24*2= $48

The online store will cost

Cost= 22+6*2

the online store will cost

Cost= 22+12

Cost= $34

Hence Tim should place at least 2 orders if he wants to buy online
