Explanation:
Given that,
Weight of the friend, W = 600 N
When the friend sits on the metal frame it bends downward 4 cm, we can say that the compression in the it is 4 cm or 0.04 m
To find,
Spring constant for this chair or k
Solve :
The weight of an object is equal to the force exerted by the gravitational force, F = 600 N
According to Hooke's law, the force exerted by the spring is given by :
F = kx
k is the spring constant


k = 15000 N/m
Therefore, the spring constant of the spring is 15000 N/m.

No. You cannot rule out the battery even after the open circuit voltage measurement. The open-circuit voltage may not have changed but the battery's internal resistance may have greatly increased.
It is 10.20 m from the ground.
<u>Explanation:</u>
<u>Given:</u>
m = 0.5 kg
PE = 50 J
We know that the Potential energy is calculated by the formula:

where m is the is mass in kg; g is acceleration due to gravity which is 9.8 m/s and h is height in meters.
PE is the Potential Energy.
Potential Energy is the amount of energy stored when an object is stationary.
Here, if we substitute the values in the formula, we get

50 = 0.5 × 9.8 × h
50 = 4.9 × h

h = 10.20 m
