Answer:
The displacement of the spring due to weight is 0.043 m
Explanation:
Given :
Mass
Kg
Spring constant 
According to the hooke's law,

Where
force,
displacement
Here,
(
)
N
Now for finding displacement,

Here minus sign only represent the direction so we take magnitude of it.

m
Therefore, the displacement of the spring due to weight is 0.043 m
Answer:
(a) 
(b) 
Solution:
As per the question:
Mass of the object, m = 1.30 kg
Length of the rod, L = 0.780 m
Angular speed, 
Now,
(a) To calculate the rotational inertia of the system about the axis of rotation:
Since, the rod is mass less, the moment of inertia of the rotating system and that of the object about the rotation axis will be equal:

(b) To calculate the applied torque required for the system to rotate at constant speed:
Drag Force, F = 

Hello
Let's convert first the height from foot to meters:

This is the space covered by the ball in its accelerated motion, where the acceleration is the gravitational acceleration:

The law of motion is given by

Re-arranging, we can get the total time of the motion:

which is the time the ball takes to hit the ground.
The answer to the question is sound
Its a compound hope this helped u<span />
