Spring stretches by 21.0 cm when a 135 n object is attached. what is the weight of a fish that would stretch the spring by 62.1

Caution: you need to use the same units of measurement throughout. If the spring stretches by 21 cm when a 135 newton object is attached, then you must ask for the mass (in newtons) of a fish that would stretch the spring by 62.1 cm.

We will need to assume that the spring is not stretched at all if and when no object is attached to the spring.

Write the ratio

21.0 cm 135 newtons
------------- = --------------------
62.1 cm x

Solve this for x. This x value represents the mass of a fish that would stretch the spring by 62.1 cm. You can cancel "cm" in the equation above:

21.0 135 newtons
------ = --------------------
62.1 x

Then 21.0x = (62.1)(135 newtons). Divide both sides of this equation by 21.0 to solve it for x.

Answer:

399.21 newtons or 40.73 kg

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to solve this you first have to do a rule of threes to calculate how much would the fish will weight compared with the stretching of the spring:

$\frac{21}{162} =\frac{62.1}{weight} \\weight=\frac{62.1*162}{21}=399.21 Newtons$

So the weight would be 399.21 newtons and it would have 40.73 kilograms in mass.

emmainna [20.7K]

Answer:

$y=2x+27$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that when a customer uses 14 GB, the monthly cost will be $55. When the customer uses 38 GB, the monthly cost will be $103. We are asked to write an equation in slope-intercept form, where x is the number of GB of data used in a month and y is the total monthly cost of the Blurizon plan.

We have been given two points on line (14,55) and (38,103).

Let us find slope of line.

$m=\frac{103-55}{38-14}$

$m=\frac{48}{24}$

$m=2$

Now, we will use slope-intercept form of equation.

$y=mx+b$

$55=2(14)+b$

$55=28+b$

$55-28=28-28+b$

$b=27$

Therefore, our required equation would be $y=2x+27$ .

dallas got a raise.His hourly wage was increased form $9 to $10.25? What was the percent increase in Dallas's wage to the neares

steposvetlana [31]

First: work out the difference (increase) between the two numbers you are comparing.

Increase = New Number - Original Number

Then: divide the increase by the original number and multiply the answer by 100.

% increase = Increase ÷ Original Number × 100.

Increase = $10.25 - $9
% increase= $1.25/$9 x 100

% increase=13.888888889
% increase= 14%

Calculus help ASAP!!!

anastassius [24]

Let $c\in(0,\infty)$ . Then the definite integral can be split up at $t=c$ so that

$\displaystyle F(x)=\int_{t=2x}^{t=5x}\frac{\mathrm dt}t$
$\displaystyle=\int_{t=2x}^{t=c}\frac{\mathrm dt}t+\int_{t=c}^{t=5x}\frac{\mathrm dt}t$
$\displaystyle=-\int_{t=c}^{t=2x}\frac{\mathrm dt}t+\int_{t=c}^{t=5x}\frac{\mathrm dt}t$

Now take the derivative. By the fundamental theorem of calculus, you have

$\displaystyle\frac{\mathrm dF}{\mathrm dx}=\frac{\mathrm d}{\mathrm dx}\left[\int_{t=c}^{t=5x}\frac{\mathrm dt}t-\int_{t=c}^{t=2x}\frac{\mathrm dt}t\right]$
$=\displaystyle\frac1{5x}\dfrac{\mathrm d}{\mathrm dx}[5x]-\frac1{2x}\dfrac{\mathrm d}{\mathrm dx}[2x]$
$=\dfrac5{5x}-\dfrac2{2x}$
$=\dfrac1x-\dfrac1x$
$=0$

Then integrating with respect to $x$ , we recover $F(x)$ and find that

$\displaystyle\int\dfrac{\mathrm dF}{\mathrm dx}\,\mathrm dx=\int0\,\mathrm dx$
$F(x)=C$

where $C$ is an arbitrary constant.
