(a) 392 N/m

Hook's law states that:

F=k\Delta x (1)

where

F is the force exerted on the spring

k is the spring constant

\Delta x 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:

F=mg=(2.0 kg)(9.8 m/s^2)=19.6 N

- The stretching of the spring is

\Delta x=15 cm-10 cm=5 cm=0.05 m

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

k=\frac{F}{\Delta x}=\frac{19.6 N}{0.05 m}=392 N/m

(b) 17.5 cm

If a block of m = 3.0 kg is attached to the spring, the new force applied is

F=mg=(3.0 kg)(9.8 m/s^2)=29.4 N

And so, the stretch of the spring is

\Delta x=\frac{F}{k}=\frac{29.4 N}{392 N/m}=0.075 m=7.5 cm

And since the initial lenght of the spring is

x_0 = 10 cm

The final length will be

x_f = x_0 +\Delta x=10 cm+7.5 cm=17.5 cm

(a) The spring constant of the spring is 392 N/m

(b) Length of the spring is 17.5 cm

\texttt{ }

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

<em>Hooke's Law states that the length of a spring is directly proportional to the force acting on the spring.</em>

\boxed {F = k \times \Delta x}

<em>F = Force ( N )</em>

<em>k = Spring Constant ( N/m )</em>

<em>Δx = Extension ( m )</em>

\texttt{ }

The formula for finding Young's Modulus is as follows:

\boxed {E = \frac{F / A}{\Delta x / x_o}}

<em>E = Young's Modulus ( N/m² )</em>

<em>F = Force ( N )</em>

<em>A = Cross-Sectional Area ( m² )</em>

<em>Δx = Extension ( m )</em>

<em>x = Initial Length ( m )</em>

Let us now tackle the problem !

\texttt{ }

<u>Given:</u>

initial length of spring = Lo = 10 cm

mass of object = m = 2.0 kg

extension of the spring = x = 15 - 10 = 5 cm = 0.05 m

mass of second object = m' = 3.0 kg

<u>Asked:</u>

a. spring constant of the spring = k = ?

b. length of spring = L = ?

<u>Solution:</u>

<h3>Part a.</h3>

F = kx

mg = kx

k = mg \div x

k = 2.0 ( 9.8 ) \div 0.05

\boxed {k = 392 \texttt{ N/m}}

\texttt{ }

<h3>Part b.</h3>

F' = kx'

m' g = k x'

x' = ( m' g ) \div k

x' = ( 3.0 (9.8) ) \div 392

x' = 0.075 \texttt{ m} = 7.5 \texttt{ cm}

\texttt{ }

L = Lo + x'

L = 10 + 7.5

\boxed {L = 17.5 \texttt{ cm}}

\texttt{ }

An object of irregular shape has a characteristic length of L = 0.5 m and is maintained at a uniform surface temperature of Ts =
goblinko [34]

Answer:

The value of the average convection coefficient is 20 W/Km².

Explanation:

Given that,

For first object,

Characteristic length = 0.5 m

Surface temperature = 400 K

Atmospheric temperature = 300 K

Velocity = 25 m/s

Air velocity = 5 m/s

Characteristic length of second object = 2.5 m

We have same shape and density of both objects so the reynold number will be same,

We need to calculate the value of the average convection coefficient

Using formula of  reynold number for both objects

R_{1}=R_{2}

\dfrac{u_{1}L_{1}}{\eta_{1}}=\dfrac{u_{2}L_{2}}{\eta_{2}}

\dfrac{h_{1}L_{1}}{k_{1}}=\dfrac{h_{2}L_{2}}{k_{2}}

Here, k_{1}=k_{2}

h_{2}=h_{1}\times\dfrac{L_{1}}{L_{2}}

h_{2}=\dfrac{q}{T_{2}-T_{1}}\times\dfrac{L_{1}}{L_{2}}

Put the value into the formula

h_{2}=\dfrac{10000}{400-300}\times\dfrac{0.5}{2.5}

h_{2}=20\ W/Km^2

Hence, The value of the average convection coefficient is 20 W/Km².
