Hooke's law describes a certain light spring of unstretched length 34.8 cm. When one end is attached to the top of a doorframe a

nd a 8.22 kg object is hung from the other end, the length of the spring is 40.8 cm. (a) Find its spring constant. 1342.6 kN/m (b) The load and the spring are taken down. Two people pull in opposite directions on the ends of the spring, each with a force of 205 N. Find the length of the spring in this situation. m

Answer:

a) k = 1343.6\,\frac{N}{m}, b) l = 0.501\,m\,(50.1\,cm)

Explanation:

a) The Hooke's law states that spring force is directly proportional to change in length. That is to say:

F \propto \Delta l

In this case, the force is equal to the weight of the object:

F = m\cdot g

F = (8.22\,kg)\cdot (9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} )

F = 80.614\,N

The spring constant is:

k = \frac{F}{\Delta l}

k = \frac{80.614\,N}{0.408\,m-0.348\,m}

k = 1343.6\,\frac{N}{m}

b) The length of the spring is:

F = k\cdot (l-l_{o})

l = l_{o} + \frac{F}{k}

l=0.348\,m+\frac{205\,N}{1343.6\,\frac{N}{m} }

l = 0.501\,m\,(50.1\,cm)

g A 1.45-kg block is pushed against a vertical wall by means of a spring (k = 860 N/m). The coefficient of static friction betwe
olga_2 [115]

Answer:

The minimum compression is  x= 0.046m

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

              The mass of the block is m_b = 1.45 kg

               The spring constant is  k = 860 N/m

               The coefficient of static friction is  \mu = 0.36

For the the block not slip it mean the sum of forces acting on the  horizontal axis is equal to the forces acting on the vertical axis

     Now the force acting on the vertical axis is the force due to gravity which is mathematically given as

                   F_y = m_b*g

And the force acting on the horizontal axis is  force due to the spring which is mathematically represented as

                   F_x = k *x * \mu

where x is the minimum compression to keep the block from slipping

        Now equating this two formulas and making x the subject

                      x = \frac{m_b * g}{k * \mu}

substituting values we have

                     x = \frac{1.45 * 9.8}{860 *0.36}

                        x= 0.046m

saul85 [17]

Answer:

When we burn wood we are releasing solar energy, in the form of heat, that has been stored in the wood as chemical energy. The process of photosynthesis converted solar energy, water and carbon dioxide into oxygen and the organic molecules that form the wood, half the weight of which is carbon.

As a pole of a 2nd-order discrete-time system moves away from the origin in the z-plane, while its phase remains constant, the d
Rudik [331]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

When the location of the poles changes in the z-plane, the natural or resonant frequency (ω₀) changes which in turn changes the damped frequency (ωd) of the system.

As the poles of a 2nd-order discrete-time system moves away from the origin then natural frequency (ω₀) increases, which in turn increases damped oscillation frequency (ωd) of the system.

ωd = ω₀√(1 - ζ)

Where ζ is called damping ratio.

For small value of ζ

ωd ≈ ω₀
