Well first you need to know the formula for the spring force. It’s -1/2k*d

K being the constant

D being the displacement

We can actually find the force on the spring by calculating the weight of the block. It would be mass multiplied by gravity, convert the grams to kilograms first tho.

600/1000 = 0.6kg

0.6kg * 9.8 m/s^2 = 5.88N

Now plug everything into the equation, also convert the centimeters to meters:

1.2/100 = 0.012 meters

5.88 = -1/2k*(0.012)

5.88 = k*(0.006)

We could drop the negative sign because we really just want the magnitude of the spring constant.

K = 980N

Answer:

$1.56\times 10^5 N/C$

Explanation:

The electric field that will balance the weight of the oil drop can be calculated using the following:

electric force, F = e E ( where, e is the charge of an electron and E is the electric field)

weight, W = 2.5 ×10⁻¹⁴ N

e E = W

$E =\frac{W}{e}$

Substitute the values:

$E =\frac{ 2.5 \times 10^{-14} N}{1.6\times10^{-19}C}= 1.56\times 10^5 N/C$

Since the biker is moving at constant speed

so we will have

$v = \frac{distance}{time}$

here we know that

$distance = 2\pi R$

time = 4 second

now we have

$v = \frac{2\pi R}{4} = \frac{\pi R}{2}$

now at the top point it feels free fall

so it is

$mg = \frac{mv^2}{R}$

$v^2 = Rg$

$(\frac{\pi R}{2})^2 = Rg$

$R = \frac{4g}{\pi^2}$

so height of the bike at the top is same as diameter

$h = 2R$

$h = \frac{8g}{\pi^2} = 7.95 meter$

Yes it will hurt on falling from this height
