Explanation:
Natural length of a spring is
. The spring is streched by
. The resultant energy of the spring is
.
The potential energy of an ideal spring with spring constant
and elongation
is given by
.
So, in the current problem, the natural length of the spring is not required to find the spring constant
.

∴ The spring constant of the spring = 
Answer:
The solution is attached in the pictures below
Explanation:
Answer:
741 J/kg°C
Explanation:
Given that
Initial temperature of glass, T(g) = 72° C
Specific heat capacity of glass, c(g) = 840 J/kg°C
Temperature of liquid, T(l)= 40° C
Final temperature, T(2) = 57° C
Specific heat capacity of the liquid, c(l) = ?
Using the relation
Heat gained by the liquid = Heat lost by the glass
m(l).C(l).ΔT(l) = m(g).C(g).ΔT(g)
Since their mass are the same, then
C(l)ΔT(l) = C(g)ΔT(g)
C(l) = C(g)ΔT(g) / ΔT(l)
C(l) = 840 * (72 - 57) / (57 - 40)
C(l) = 12600 / 17
C(l) = 741 J/kg°C
Answer:
the period of the 16 m pendulum is twice the period of the 4 m pendulum
Explanation:
Recall that the period (T) of a pendulum of length (L) is defined as:

where "g" is the local acceleration of gravity.
SInce both pendulums are at the same place, "g" is the same for both, and when we compare the two periods, we get:

therefore the period of the 16 m pendulum is twice the period of the 4 m pendulum.
