Answer:

74.958 lb-in

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that

Natural length of spring=l=6 in

After stretching, the length of  spring=8.3 in

Weight=W=9 lb

Extension in the sprig=8.3-6=2.3 in

By hook's law

F==W=kx

Using the formula

9=k(2.3)

k=\frac{9}{2.3}=3.9 lb/in

Extension in the spring when the length of spring after stretching to 12.2 in=12.2-6=6.2 in

Work done, W=\int_{0}^{6.2}3.9xdx

W=[\frac{3.9x^2}{2}]^{6.2}_{0}

W=3.9\times \frac{(6.2)^2}{2}

W=74.958 lb-in

olchik [2.2K]

Answer:

Number of fish in 2006 = 845 fishes (Approx.)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

Number of fish in 2000 = 1,150 fishes

Decreasing rate = 5% per year

Find:

Number of fish in 2006

Computation:

Exponential decay function:

F = P[1-r]ⁿ

Number of year = 2006 - 2000

Number of year =  6 year

Number of fish in 2006 = 1,150[1-5%]⁶

Number of fish in 2006 = 1,150[1-0.05]⁶

Number of fish in 2006 = 1,150[0.95]⁶

Number of fish in 2006 = 1,150[0.735]

Number of fish in 2006 = 845.25

Number of fish in 2006 = 845 fishes (Approx.)

Answer:

X as a subject = x = p(m - n)

m = n+ x/p

m - n = x/p

p(m - n) = x

So, x = p(m - n)

James calculated the height of a cylinder that has a volume of 324 pi cubic inches and a radius of 12 in his work is shown below
wel

Answer:

13.5cm

Step-by-step explanation:

V=Bn

Step 1: 3245 - 12h

Step 2: 324 = 24 sh

324 24

Step 3: 245 245

Step 4: h-13.5

inches

What is the first error that James made when calculating the height of the cylinder?

In step 1, he substituted into the volume formula incorrectly.

In step 2, he calculated 122 incorrectly. It should be 144 rather than 24.

In step 4, the should have canceled, making the correct answer 13.5 cm.

James calculated the height of the cylinder correctly
