Answer:

a = kL/m

Explanation:

Here we can use Hooke's Law to find out the force applied on the system. Hooke's Law states that when a spring is stretched by some force, the force applied is directly proportional to the displacement of spring. The formula is given as:

F = kL

Now, the Newton's Second Law of motion states that whenever an unbalanced force is applied to a body it produces an acceleration in the body, in its own direction. So, the force is given by the formula:

F = ma

Comparing both the forces, we get:

kL = ma

<u>a = kL/m</u>

A person is pulling a freight cart with a force of 58 pounds. how much work is done in moving the cart 70 feet if the cart's han
Kobotan [32]

<span>The person is dragging with a force of 58 lbs at an angle of 27 degrees relating to the ground. We want to use cosine function to look for the horizontal force component. And then we can compute for W = (Horizontal Force) x (Distance). We want the horizontal force component since that is the component that is parallel to the direction the cart is moving. </span><span>

(cos 27 degrees)(58 lbs) = 51.69 lbs (This is the horizontal force component.) 
W = (51.69 lbs) x (70 ft) = 3618.3 ft*lbs</span>
