Near the top of the Citigroup Center building in New York City, there is an object with mass of 4.00 ✕ 105 kg on springs that ha

ve adjustable force constants. Its function is to dampen wind-driven oscillations of the building by oscillating at the same frequency as the building is being driven—the driving force is transferred to the object, which oscillates instead of the entire building.
(a) What effective force constant should the springs have to make the object oscillate with a period of 2.40 s?

(b) What energy is stored in the springs for a 2.20-m displacement from equilibrium?

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of an object, m=4\times 10^5\ kg

(a) Time period of oscillation, T = 2.4 s

The formula for the time period of spring is given by :

T=2\pi \sqrt{\dfrac{m}{k}}

Where

k is the force constant

k=\dfrac{4\pi ^2 m}{T^2}

k=\dfrac{4\pi ^2 \times 4\times 10^5}{(2.4)^2}

k=2.74\times 10^6\ N/m

(b) Displacement in the spring, x = 2.2 m

Energy stored in the spring is given by :

U=\dfrac{1}{2}kx^2

U=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 2.74\times 10^6\ N/m\times (2.2\ m)^2

U=6.63\times 10^6\ J

Hence, this is the required solution.

PLEASE HELP ASAP!!! CORRECT ANSWER ONLY PLEASE!!!<br><br> Joules could be used to measure
lyudmila [28]

All of the above, work is a measurement of energy transfer, in Joules.

Potential energy = Joules

Kinetic energy = Joules

The key thing here is that anything having to do with just energy or energy transfer is measured in joules.

A flat, 179 179 ‑turn, current‑carrying loop is immersed in a uniform magnetic field. The area of the loop is 4.41 cm 2 4.41 cm2
Alecsey [184]

Answer:

The value of the magnetic field is  B =0.1423T

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

              The number of turns is  N = 179

               The area of the loop is A = 4.41cm^2 = \frac{4.41}{10000} = 0.000414m

                 The angle is  \theta  = 59^o

               The torque  is  \tau =2.25 * 10^{- 5} N

                The current is  I = 2.49\ mA

The torque acting on the current carry loop is  mathematically represented as

                     \tau = B * I * N * A * sin \theta

Where is the magnitude of the magnetic filed

Making B the subject

                     B= \frac{\tau}{I * N * A * sin\theta}

Substituting values

                    B = \frac{2.25*10^{-5}}{2.49*10^{-3} * 179 * 0.000414 * sin (59)}

                       =0.1423 T
