Hello! I can help you with this!
4. For this problem, we have to write and solve a proportion. We would set this proportion up as 12/15 = 8/x. This is because we're looking for the length of the shadow and we know the height of the items, so we line them up horizontally and x goes with 8, because we're looking for the shadow length. Let's cross multiply the values. 15 * 8 = 120. 12 * x = 12. You get 120 = 12x. Now, we must divide each side by 12 to isolate the "x". 120/12 is 10. x = 10. There. The cardboard box casts a shadow that is 10 ft long.
5. For this question, you do the same thing. This time, you're finding the height of the tower, so you would do 1.2/0.6 = x/7. Cross multiply the values in order to get 8.4 = 0.6x. Now, divide each side by 0.6x to isolate the "x". 8.4/0.6 is 14. x = 14. There. The tower is 14 m tall.

The answer is high to low.
<u>Yes, work is done when a book falls of the table.</u>
This is because:
When the book falls, it's potential energy is converted into kinetic energy. As it reaches the floor down, this kinetic energy is converted to heat energy and sound energy due to the impact.
When a force is imposed on an object to cause displacement of that object, work is done on that object. For a force to do work on an object, there should be a displacement and this force should cause the displacement. So here, since the book falls from the table and causes the displacement of the book from the table to the floor. It is said that work is done.
Work can be given by the formula:
W = F • d
where F is the force and d is the displacement.

Explanation:
When the springs are connected end to end, it means they are connected in series. When the springs are connected in series, the stress applied to the system gets applied to each of the springs without any change in magnitude while the strain of the system is the sum total of strains of each spring. The spring constant of the resultant system is given as,
Here, n = 10
Spring constant of each spring = k
Thus,
