Hook's law states that:
(1)
where
F is the force exerted on the spring
k is the spring constant
is the stretching/compression of the spring
In this problem:
- The force exerted on the spring is equal to the weight of the block attached to the spring:

- The stretching of the spring is

Solving eq.(1) for k, we find the spring constant:

(b) 17.5 cm
If a block of m = 3.0 kg is attached to the spring, the new force applied is

And so, the stretch of the spring is

And since the initial lenght of the spring is

The final length will be

12 ounce hard seltzer and 1.5 ounces of liquor are standard drinks because they contain the <u>same amount</u><u> </u><u>of </u><u>pure alcohol</u>
<h3>What is standard drink?</h3>
This is a term used to refer to the measure of alcoholic content of drinks such that the drink should have 14 grams of pure alcohol or 0.6 fluid ounces of pure alcohol. This concept of standard drink is applicable in the United States of America.
The equivalence of a standard drink is 5 percent alcohol as seen in regular beer, 12 percent as seen in wines, and 40 percent as seen in distilled spirits. This measurement in taken by the percentage of the total volume of the beverage. hence the quantity of the drink or beverage may be different as the percentage is what determines the amount of alcohol present
From standard drink chart both drinks has same amount of pure alcohol so they are said to be standard drinks
