your on here to lol we must be hella failing g
Answer:
Part(a): The value of the spring constant is
.
Part(b): The work done by the variable force that stretches the collagen is
.
Explanation:
Part(a):
If '
' be the force constant and if due the application of a force '
' on the collagen '
' be it's increase in length, then from Hook's law

Also, Young's modulus of a material is given by

where '
' is the area of the material and '
' is the length.
Comparing equation (
) and (
) we can write

Here, we have to consider only the circular surface of the collagen as force is applied only perpendicular to this surface.
Substituting the given values in equation (
), we have

Part(b):
We know the amount of work done (
) on the collagen is stored as a potential energy (
) within it. Now, the amount of work done by the variable force that stretches the collagen can be written as

Substituting all the values, we can write

My Van de Graaff generator will create sparks about 10 to 12 inches in length. I like to charge myself on it and point at the aluminum blinds on the window. The charge (electronic wind) will cause the blinds to move. I can do this from about 8 feet away with ease. Soap bubbles are also interesting to play with around the Van de Graaff generator. They initially are attracted to the Van de Graaff generator and float toward it; once they become charged by the Van de Graaff generator, they float away due to repulsion. There are multitudes of fun things you can do with your Van de Graaff generator. Use your imagination!
