It is weigh-in time for the local under-85-kg rugby team. The bathroom scale used to assess eligibility can be described by Hook

e’s law and is depressed 0.75 cm by its maximum load of 120 kg. (a) What is the spring’s effective force constant? (b) A player stands on the scales and depresses it by 0.48 cm. Is he eligible to play on this under-85-kg team?

Answer:

(a)spring effective force constant =1568N/cm

(b) Yes

Explanation:

Hooke's law is represented mathematically as, F=ke

where

  • F is force applied to elastic material,
  • k= spring constant
  • e= extension

(a).After the maximum load is exceeded, Hooke's law doesn't apply anymore. from the problem, its stated that a maximum load of 120kg will cause an extension of 0.75cm, we will use this to determine the spring constant.

F=mg, g=9.8m/s^{2}

F= 120*9.8 =1176N

From Hooke's law, k=\frac{F}{e}

k=\frac{1176}{0.75}

k=1568N/cm

(b). The players who stands on the scale causes a 0.48cm extension.

    e= 0.48cm, k= 1568N/cm

F=Ke

F= 1568*0.48

F= 752.64N

To calculate the mass of the player we divide this force by g=9.8m/s^{2}

F=mg

m=F/g

m= \frac{ 752.64}{9.8} \\\\m=76.8kg

since the rugby team is an under 85kg team, this player with 76.8kg mass is eligible

In a series lrc circuit, the frequency at which the circuit is at resonance is f0. If you double the resistance, the inductance,
taurus [48]

When you double capacitance and inductance, the new resonance frequency becomes f/2.

  • Resonance frequency:

The resonance frequency of RLC series circuit, is the frequency at which the capacity reactance is equal to inductive reactance.

It can also be defined as the natural frequency of an object where it tends to vibrate at a higher amplitude.

Xc = Xl

which gives the value for resonance frequency:

f = \frac{1}{2\pi \sqrt{LC} }

where;

f is the resonance frequency

L is the inductance

C is the capacitance

When you double capacitance and inductance, the new resonance frequency becomes;

f' = \frac{1}{2\pi \sqrt{2L2C} }

f' = \frac{1}{2\pi \sqrt{4LC} }

f' = \frac{1}{\pi \sqrt{LC} }\frac{1}{2}

f' = \frac{1}{2} f

Thus from above,

When you double capacitance and inductance, the new resonance frequency becomes f/2.

A long wire carrying a 5.0 A current perpendicular to the xy-plane intersects the x-axis at x= - 2.0 cm . A second, parallel wir
mario62 [17]

Answer:

a . 0.35cm

b.  11.33cm

Explanation:

a. Given both currents are in the same direction, the null point lies in between them. Let x be distance of N from first wire, then distance from 2nd wire is 4-x

#For the magnetic fields to be zero,the fields of both wires should be equal and opposite.They are only opposite in between the wires:

\frac{\mu_oi_1}{2\pi x}=\frac{\mu_oi_2}{2\pi(4-x)}\\\\5/x=\frac{3.5}{4-x}\\\\x=2.35cm\\\\N=2.35-2=0.35cm

Hence, for currents in same direction, the point is 0.35cm

b. Given both currents flow in opposite directions, the null point lies on the other side.

#For the magnetic fields to be zero,the fields of both wires should be equal and opposite.They are only opposite in outside the wires:

Let x be distance of N from first wire, then distance from 2nd wire is 4+x:

\frac{\mu_oi_1}{2\pi(4+ x)}=\frac{\mu_oi_2}{2\pi x}\\\\5/(4+x)=\frac{3.5}{x}\\\\x=9.33cm\\\\N=9.33+2=11.33cm

Hence, if currents are in opposite directions the point on x-axis is 11.33cm
