A 5 meter long ladder leans against a wall. The bottom of the ladder slides away from the wall at the constant rate of 1 3 m/s.

Oksana_A [137]

Answer:9.75 m/s

Explanation:

Given

Length of ladder $(L)=5 m$

Foot the ladder is moving away with speed of $\frac{\mathrm{d} x}{\mathrm{d} t}=13 m/s$

From diagram

$x^2+y^2=L^2$ ------1

at $x=3$

$y^2=25-9=16$

$y=4 m$

Now differentiating equation 1 w.r.t time

$2x\frac{\mathrm{d} x}{\mathrm{d} t}+2y\frac{\mathrm{d} y}{\mathrm{d} t}=0$

$x\frac{\mathrm{d} x}{\mathrm{d} t}=-y\frac{\mathrm{d} y}{\mathrm{d} t}$

$3\times 13=-4\times \frac{\mathrm{d} y}{\mathrm{d} t}$

$\frac{\mathrm{d} y}{\mathrm{d} t}=-\frac{3\times 13}{4}=-9.75 m/s$

negative indicates distance is decreasing with time

Recall that the spring constant is inversely proportional to the number of coils in the spring, or that shorter springs equate t

ruslelena [56]

Answer:

$x_1= 0.0425m$

Explanation:

Using the tension in the spring and the force of the tension can by describe by

T = kx

, T = mg

Therefore:

$m*g = k*x$

With two springs, let, T1 be the tension in each spring, x1 be the extension of each spring. The spring constant of each spring is 2k so:

$T_1 = 2k*x_1$

$2T_1 = m*g=4k x_1$

Solve to x1

$x_1=\frac{m*g}{4k}$

$x_1=\frac{k*x}{4*k}$

$x_1=\frac{x}{4}$

$x_1 = 0.170 / 4$

$x_1= 0.0425m$
