Answer:
7200 N/m
Explanation:
Metric unit conversion
100g = 0.1 kg
5 cm = 0.05 m
50 cm = 0.5 m
As the block is released from the spring and travelling to height h = 1.5m off the ground, the elastics energy is converted to work of friction force and the potential energy at 1.5 m off the ground
The work by friction force is the product of the force F = 15N itself and the distance s = 0.5 m
Let g = 10 m/s2. The change in potential energy can be calculated as the following:
Therefore, as elastic energy is converted to potential energy and work of friction:
data which is expressed in form of following way
here in above expression
= true value
= uncertainty in the value
now the relative uncertainty is given as
now by above formula we can say
a) 2.70 ± 0.05cm
here
True value = 2.70
uncertainty = 0.05
Relative uncertainty = = 0.0185
b) 12.02 ± 0.08cm
here
True value = 12.02
uncertainty = 0.08
Relative uncertainty = = 0.00665
