A spring is laid horizontally on a table and a force of 62 N is required to stretch the spring 12 cm. The spring is then held ve

rtically and an object is attached to the end of it which causes the spring to stretch 9.7 cm. What is the Mass of the object?

Answer:

5.11 kg

Explanation:

Hooke's law states that stress is directly proportional to strain. It can be represented by the equation:

F = -kx

Where x is the displacement of the spring’s end from its equilibrium position, F is the force applied to the spring, k is a constant known as spring constant.

At first a force (F) of 62 N i used to stretch a spring by 12 cm (x).

Substituting into Hooke's equation:

F = kx

k = F/x = 62 / 12 = 5.17 N/cm

The spring is then held vertically and an object. The object is acted by upon by acceleration due to gravity since it is vertically upward. Therefore the force created by the object F = mg where g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s². It causes a stretch (x) of 9.7 cm

Therefore:

mg =  5.17 N/cm × 9.7 cm

9.81m = 50.117

m = 50.117 / 9.81 = 5.11 kg

A block of a plastic material floats in water with 42.9% of its volume under water. What is the density of the block in kg/m3?
adell [148]

To solve this problem we will apply the principle of buoyancy of Archimedes and the relationship given between density, mass and volume.

By balancing forces, the force of the weight must be counteracted by the buoyancy force, therefore

\sum F = 0

F_b -W = 0

F_b = W

F_b = mg

Here,

m = mass

g =Gravitational energy

The buoyancy force corresponds to that exerted by water, while the mass given there is that of the object, therefore

\rho_w V_{displaced} g = mg

Remember the expression for which you can determine the relationship between mass, volume and density, in which

\rho = \frac{m}{V} \rightarrow m = V\rho

In this case the density would be that of the object, replacing

\rho_w V_{displaced} g = V\rho g

Since the displaced volume of water is 0.429 we will have to

\rho_w (0.429V) = V \rho

0.429\rho_w= \rho

The density of water under normal conditions is 1000kg / m ^ 3, so

0.429(1000) = \rho

\rho = 429kg/m^3

The density of the object is 429kg / m ^ 3

What is the speed of a transverse wave in a rope of length 3. 1 m and mass 86 g under a tension of 380 n?
Nitella [24]

117 m/sec is the speed of a transverse wave in a rope of length 3. 1 m and mass 86 g under a tension of 380 n.

The wave speed v is given by

v= √τ/μ

​where τ is the tension in the rope and μ is the linear mass density of the rope.

The linear mass density is the mass per unit length of rope :

μ= m / L = (0.086 kg)/(3.1 m)=0.0277 kg/m.

v= \sqrt{ \frac{380 N}{0.0277 kg/m}}  = 117.125 m/sec (approx. 117 m/sec

In physics, a transverse wave is a wave whose oscillations are perpendicular to the direction of the wave's advance. This is in contrast to a longitudinal wave which travels in the direction of its oscillations. Water waves are an example of transverse wave.

Transverse waves commonly occur in elastic solids due to the shear stress generated; the oscillations in this case are the displacement of the solid particles away from their relaxed position, in directions perpendicular to the propagation of the wave. These displacements correspond to a local shear deformation of the material. Hence a transverse wave of this nature is called a shear wave. Since fluids cannot resist shear forces while at rest, propagation of transverse waves inside the bulk of fluids is not possible.
