Entropy is the measure of the amount of disordered in a system.

Explanation:

In 1850, Entropy introduction by the German physicist Rudolf Clausius refers a measurement of the system's thermal energy in unit temperature. It is not for useful work because the work originates from ordered molecular motions. And, this also measures the molecular disturbance or randomness of the system.

The concept behind this provides deep view into spontaneous changes in many everyday phenomena’s. The idea of entropy is a mathematical way of coding an intuitive idea whose processes are impossible, and not violate the basic principle of energy conservation.

Nataliya [291]

Archimedes principle states that

F1 / A1 = F2 / A2

F2 = (A2 / A1) * F1

Also, formula for the force is F = mg. Formula for the area of the cylinder is A = πr^2, therefore we get

F2 = (πr2^2 / πr1^2) * mg

Since the diameter of the cylinders are 2 cm and 24 cm, r1 = 12 and r2 = 1.

Substituting the values to the derived equation, we get

F2 = (π 1^2 / π 12^2) * 2400 * 9.8

F2 = 163.3333 N

Answer:

Approximately $1.79 \times 10^{5}\; {\rm N \cdot m^{-1}}$ , assuming friction between the vehicle and the ground is negligible.

Explanation:

Let $m$ denote the mass of the vehicle. Let $v$ denote the initial velocity of the vehicle. Let $k$ denote the spring constant (needs to be found.) Let $x$ denote the maximum displacement of the spring.

Convert velocity of the vehicle to standard units (meters per second):

$\begin{aligned}v &= 20.8\; {\rm km \cdot h^{-1}} \times \frac{1000\; {\rm m}}{1\; {\rm km}} \times \frac{1\; {\rm h}}{3600\; {\rm s}} \\ &\approx 1.908\; {\rm m \cdot s^{-1}}\end{aligned}$ .

Initial kinetic energy ( ${\rm KE}$ ) of the vehicle:

$\begin{aligned}\frac{1}{2}\, m \, v^{2}\end{aligned}$ .

When the vehicle is brought to a rest, the elastic potential energy ( $\text{EPE}$ ) stored in the spring would be:

$\displaystyle \frac{1}{2}\, k\, x^{2}$ .

By the conservation of energy, if the friction between the vehicle and the ground is negligible, the initial $\text{KE}$ of the vehicle should be equal to the ${\rm EPE}$ of the vehicle. In other words:

$\begin{aligned}\frac{1}{2}\, m \, v^{2} &= \frac{1}{2}\, k\, x^{2}\end{aligned}$ .

Rearrange this equation to find an expression for $k$ , the spring constant:

$\begin{aligned}k &= \frac{m\, v }{x^{2}}\end{aligned}$ .

Substitute in the given values $m = 1508\; {\rm kg}$ , $v \approx 1.908\; {\rm m\cdot s^{-1}}$ , and $x = 6.87\; {\rm m}$ :

$\begin{aligned}k &= \frac{m\, v }{x^{2}} \\ &\approx \frac{1508\; {\rm kg} \times 1.908\; {\rm m\cdot s^{-1}}}{(6.87\; {\rm m})^{2}} \\ &\approx 1.79 \times 10^{5}\; {\rm kg \cdot m \cdot s^{-2} \cdot m^{-3}}\\ &\approx 1.79 \times 10^{5}\; {\rm N \cdot m^{-1}}\end{aligned}$
