If the springs are connected together from end to end, they are arranged in series. For springs in series, the forces are additive. 

Spring 1: F1 = k1(Δx1)
Spring 2: F2 = k2(Δx2)
Spring 1: F3 = k3(Δx3)

Total Force = k1(Δx1)+k2(Δx2)+k3(Δx3)
Total Force = (k1+k2+k3)(Δx,total)

The spring constants are added together and multiplied with the total length of elongation to find the total force acting on it.

bulgar [2K]

Answer:

When you have to do an English-Metric (SI) length conversion, and you already know the English units of length (miles, yards, feet, inches, etc.), all you need to remember is one simple relationship, and you can readily convert any length in the SI system, to the equivalent length in the other.

1 foot (ft) = 0.3048 meters (m)

BIn this case you need your answer in inches. You (hopefully) know there are 12 inches in a foot, so you just do the following:

1 inch (in) = 1/12 ft = 0.3048/12 m = 0.0254 m

You carry a 20 n bag of dog food up a 6 m flight of stairs. how much work was done?
ryzh [129]

Answer:

No work was done because it is not hard to carry a ####### bag of dog food up the stairs.

Explanation:

The FitnessGram Pacer Test is a multistage aerobic capacity test that progressively gets more difficult as it continues. The 20 meter pacer test will begin in 30 seconds. Line up at the start. The running speed starts slowly, but gets faster each minute after you hear this signal. A single lap should be completed each time you hear this sound. Remember to run in a straight line, and run as long as possible.

What is universal laws of gravitation ​
valentinak56 [21]

Answer:

Newton's law of universal gravitation states that every particle attracts every other particle in the universe with a force which is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between their centers.

The diagram shown represents a block-and-tackle pulley system on which an effort of W Newtons supports a load of 120.0N. If the
natta225 [31]

Answer:

50 N

Explanation:

Efficiency of a machine can't be more than 1, so I assume you mean 40%.  (Remember, efficiency and mechanical advantage are not the same).

Efficiency is the ratio of work out of a system to the work in to the system.

e = Wout / Win

Work is force times distance, so:

e = (Fout × Dout) / (Fin × Din)

Rearranging:

Fin = (Fout × Dout) / (e × Din)

Fin = (Fout / e) × (Dout / Din)

Fin = (Fout / e) / (Din / Dout)

We know that e = 0.40, and Fout = 120 N.  Since there are 6 pulleys, we also know that Din/Dout = 6.

F = (120 N / 0.4) / 6

F = 50 N
