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

  • Center =(h,k) = (0,2.25)
  • Radius = r = \frac{14}{13}

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Here we have following equation : x^{2}+(y-2.25)^{2} = \dfrac{196}{169}

We need to find the center & radius of this circle . Let's find out:

We know that , Equation of a circle is given by :

⇒ (x-h)^2+(y-k)^2=r^2   ........(1)

Here , (h,k) are the co-ordinates of center & r is the radius of circle.Collectively called as a circle with radius r and center at (h,k) . Let's frame given equation in question :

⇒  x^{2}+(y-2.25)^{2} = \frac{196}{169}

⇒  (x-0)^{2}+(y-2.25)^{2} = (\frac{14}{13})^2

On comparing this equation with equation (1) we get :

  • Center =(h,k) = (0,2.25)
  • Radius = r = \frac{14}{13}
