Answer:

W = 8.575 foot-pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation for work is:  W = F*d

where F is force applied and d distance of the movement

from problem statement we have

d = 0,7 ft

We also know that the spring was stretched 0,4 ft when a force of 7 pounds was applied therefore

K the constant of the spring is

F = K*s      

k = F/s     ⇒   k = 7/0.4         ⇒ k = 17.5  pounds/feet

Now to move from original condition of the spring up to 0,7 feet we need a force of

F = k*s       ⇒  F = 17,5 pounds/feet * 0.7 feet     ⇒ F = 12.25 pounds

And finally the work

W = 12.25 * 0.7   = 8.575 foot-pounds

W = 8.575 foot-pounds

What is the focus of the following graph?
diamong [38]

Answer:

F(1,5)

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a vertical parabola.

The vertex is at (1,4).

The directrix is y=3.

The distance from the vertex to the directrix is p=1

The focus is (1,4+p), which is (1,4+1)

Therefore the focus is (1,5)

If the area of AABC is D, give the expressions that complete the equation for the measure of ZB?
Ira Lisetskai [31]

Given:

The figure of triangle ABC.

The area of the triangle ABC is D.

m\angle B=\sin ^{-1}(\dfrac{m}{n})

To find:

The value of m and n in the given expression.

Solution:

Let h be the height of the triangle ABC.

Area of a triangle is:

Area=\dfrac{1}{2}\times base\times h

Where, b is the base and h is the height of the triangle.

Area=\dfrac{1}{2}\times a\times h

The area of the triangle ABC is D.

D=\dfrac{1}{2}\times a\times h

2D=ah

\dfrac{2D}{a}=h                  ...(i)

In a right angle triangle,

\sin \theta =\dfrac{Perpendicular}{Hypotenuse}

\sin B =\dfrac{h}{c}

\sin B =\dfrac{1}{c}\times \dfrac{2D}{a}              [Using (i)]

\sin B =\dfrac{2D}{ac}

m\angle B =\sin ^{-1}\dfrac{2D}{ac}            ...(ii)

We have,

m\angle B=\sin ^{-1}(\dfrac{m}{n})          ...(iii)

On comparing (ii) and (iii), we get

m=2D

n=ac

Therefore, the required values are m=2D, n=ac.
