Answer: Option (B) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Convection is defined as a process in which a fluid (liquid or gas) is heated and the cooler liquid (more dense) settles or sinks at the bottom whereas a hotter material (less dense) will rises to the top.

For example, ice being less dense (cooler material) will float in a lake whereas liquid water being more dense will sink at the bottom.

Thus, we can conclude that situation in which convection currents most likely occur is within the water in a lake as ice forms on the top.

A 10-cm-long spring is attached to theceiling. When a 2.0 kg mass is hung from it,the spring stretches to a length of 15 cm.a.Wh
alekssr [168]

(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
