A block of mass 0.252 kg is placed on top of a light, vertical spring of force constant 4 825 N/m and pushed downward so that th

e spring is compressed by 0.105 m. After the block is released from rest, it travels upward and then leaves the spring. To what maximum height above the point of release does it rise?

Answer:

10.77m

Explanation:

The elastic potential energy of the spring when compressed with the mass is converted to the kinetic energy of the mass when released. This ie expressed in the following equation;

\frac{1}{2}ke^2=\frac{1}{2}mu^2..............(1)

where k is the force constant of the spring, e is the compressed length, m is the mass of the block and u is the velocity with which the block leaves the spring after being released.

If we make u the subject of formula from equation (1) we obtain the following;

u=\sqrt{\frac{ke^2}{m}}................(2)

Given;

e = 0.105m,

k = 4825N/m,

m = 0.252kg,

u = ?

Substituting all values into equation (2) we obtain the following;

u=\sqrt{\frac{4825*0.105^2}{0.252}}................(2)\\u=14.53m/s

The maximum height attained is then obtained from the third equation of motion as follows, taking g as 9.8m/s^2

v^2=u^2-2gh.........(3)

v = 0m/s

Hence

h=\frac{u^2}{2g}\\h=\frac{14.53^2}{2*9.8}\\h= 10.77m

A crane is used to lower weights into a lake for an underwater construction project. Determine the tension in the cable of the c
atroni [7]

Answer:

Tension in the cable = 591292.8 N or 591.3 kN

Explanation:

Tension in the cable = Weight of object in air - upthrust/bouyancy due to the liquid

Weight of object in air = mass * acceleration due to gravity, g

Since mass is not given, it is obtained from the formula, mass = density * volume

Volume of the sphere = 4/3πr³ where r, radius = 2 m; π = 22/7

volume = 4/3 * 22/7 * (2m)³

volume of sphere = 33.52 m³

Density of concrete sphere = specific gravity * density of water

where, specific gravity = 2.8, density of water = 1000 kg/m³

density of concrete =  2.8 * 1000 kg/m³

density of concrete = 2800 kg/m³

acceleration due to gravity, g = 9.8 m/s²

Thus, weight of concrete = 2800 kg/m³ * 33.52 m³ * 9.8 m/s² = 919788.8 N

Upthrust = density of water * volume of sphere * g

Upthrust = 1000 kg/m³ * 33.52 m³ * 9.8 m/s² = 328496 N

The tension in the cable is the calculated as below;

Tension in the cable = Weight of object in air - upthrust/bouyancy due to the liquid

Tension in cable = 919788.8 N - 328.496 N = 591292.8 N

Therefore, tension in the cable is 591292.8 N or 591.3 kN

What is 0.40 as a fraction?
maxonik [38]
Please remember to post in the right category next time :)

.40 as a fraction is 4/10 or 2/5
the 4 is in the tenths place, so put it over a 10 to make it a fraction.
then, simplify the fraction by dividing the numerator and denominator by 2, and you get 2/5
