Answer:

k = 9.807\,\frac{N}{m}

Explanation:

The description of both systems can be done by means of the following two equations of equilibrium:

\Sigma F = k\cdot x - (0.05\,kg)\cdot (9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} )=0

\Sigma F = k \cdot (x + 0.08\,m) - (0.13\,kg)\cdot (9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} ) = 0

By diving the first expression by the second one, the following relation is found:

\frac{x}{x + 0.08\,m}=\frac{0.05\,kg}{0.13\,kg}

x = 0.385\cdot (x+0.08\,m)

0.615\cdot x = 0.031\,m

The initial elongation of the spring is:

x = 0.05\,m

The spring constant is found by substituting known variable in any of the two equations of equilibrium. For comfort and quickness reasons, the first formula is used:

k = \frac{(0.05\,kg)\cdot (9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} )}{0.05\,m}

k = 9.807\,\frac{N}{m}

Which restricted basin has the coolest temperatures?
sattari [20]

Hudson Bay is the  restricted basin that has the coolest temperatures

Hudson Bay is a restricted basin which  remains frozen or is dominated by ice over the summer solstice and through- out much of the high-sun season. This basin experiences a harsh continental climate.

The average annual temperature in almost the entire bay is around 0 °C (32 °F) or below. In the extreme northeast, winter temperatures average as low as −29 °C or −20.2 °F. The region of this basin has very low year-round average temperatures.

This basin starts freezing up by early November, and the northern part of the basin is typically entirely iced over by the end of the month.

correct answer is Hudson bay
