<u>Answer</u>

9 m


<u>Explanation</u>

The energy stored in a spring is given by:

Energy = 1/2 k²e

Where e is the compression and k is the spring constant.

 Energy = 1/2 × 176,400 × 0.2²

              = 3,528 N

The same energy will then be converted to potential energy given by:

Energy = mgh

Where m is the mass, g is the gravity and h is the height above the ground.

Energy = mgh

3,528 = 40 × 9.8 × h

3,528 = 392h

h = 9 m

fgiga [73]

Answer:

Explanation:

Change in length of spring = 2.13 m

Component of weight acting on spring = mg sinθ

so

mg sinθ = k x where k is spring constant and x is total stretch due to force on the spring.

Here x = 2.13

mg sin17 = k x 2.13

31 x 9.8 sin17 = k x 2.13

k = 41.7 N/m

b ) In case surface had friction , spring would have stretched by less distance .

It is so because , the work done by gravity in stretching down is stored as potential energy in  spring . In case of dissipative force like friction , it also takes up some energy in the form of heat etc  so spring stretches less.

lorasvet [3.4K]

Answer:

F'=2F

Explanation:

The Coulomb's law states that the magnitude of the electrostatic force between two charges is directly proportional to the product of the magnitudes of charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them:

F=\frac{kq_1q_2}{d^2}

In this case, we have q_1'=2q_1:

F'=\frac{kq'_1q_2}{d^2}\\F'=\frac{k(2q_1)q_2}{d^2}\\F'=2\frac{kq_1q_2}{d^2}\\F'=2F

Suppose a tank filled with water has a liquid column with a height of 10 meters. If the area is 2 square meters (2 m²), what's t
Vesna [10]

Answer:

196000 N

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

Height (h) = 10 m

Area (A) = 2 m²

Force (F) =.?

Next, we shall determine the pressure in the tank.

This can be obtained as follow:

P = dgh

Where

P is the pressure.

d is the density of the liquid.

g is acceleration due to gravity

h is the height.

Height (h) = 10 m

Density (d) of water = 1000 kg/m³

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²

Pressure (P) =...?

P = dgh

P = 1000 × 9.8 × 10

P = 98000 N/m²

Therefore, the pressure acting on the tank is 98000 N/m²

Finally, we shall determine the force of gravity acting on the column of water as follow:

Area (A) = 2 m²

Pressure (P) = 98000 N/m²

Force (F) =.?

Pressure (P) = Force (F) /Area (A)

P = F /A

98000 = F/ 2

Cross multiply

F = 98000 × 2

F = 196000 N

Therefore, the force of gravity acting on the column of water is 196000 N
