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}

An electric field of magnitude 2.35 V/m is oriented at an angle of 25.0° with respect to the positive z-direction. Determine the
zzz [600]

Answer:

The magnitude of the electric flux is 3.53\ N-m^2/C

Explanation:

Given that,

Electric field = 2.35 V/m

Angle = 25.0°

Area A= 1.65 m^2

We need to calculate the flux

Using formula of the magnetic flux

\phi=E\cdot A

\phi = EA\cos\theta

Where,

A = area

E = electric field

Put the value into the formula

\phi=2.35\times1.65\times\cos 25^{\circ}

\phi=2.35\times1.65\times0.91

\phi=3.53\ N-m^2/C

Hence, The magnitude of the electric flux is 3.53\ N-m^2/C
