Answer:

114.44 J

Explanation:

From Hook's Law,

F = ke................. Equation 1

Where F = Force required to stretch the spring, k = spring constant, e = extension.

make k the subject of the equation

k = F/e.............. Equation 2

Given: F = 10 lb = (10×4.45) N = 44.5 N, e = 4 in = (4×0.254) = 1.016 m.

Substitute into equation 2

k = 44.5/1.016

k = 43.799 N/m

Work done in stretching the 9 in beyond its natural length

W = 1/2ke²................. Equation 3

Given: e = 9 in = (9×0.254) = 2.286 m, k = 43.799 N/m

Substitute into equation 3

W = 1/2×43.799×2.286²

W = 114.44 J

<h2>Answer:</h2>

11.47J

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

Hooke's law states that the force or load (F) applied to an elastic material (e.g a spring) is directly proportional to the extension or compression (e) caused by the load. i.e

F ∝ e

F = k e          ---------------(i)

where;

k = proportionality constant called the spring or elastic constant.

<em>From the question,</em>

F = Force = 10 lb

[Remember that 1 lb = 4.45 N]        

=> F = 10 x 4.45 N = 44.5 N            

<em>Also;</em>

e = extension = 4 in

[Remember that 1 in = 0.0254 m]

e = 4 x 0.0254 m = 0.1016 m

<em>Substitute these values into equation (i) to get the spring constant of the spring as follows;</em>

44.5 = k x 0.1016

k = \frac{44.5}{0.1016}

k = 439N/m

<em>Now, lets calculate the work done</em>

The workdone W, in stretching a spring from its natural length to some length beyond the natural length, is given by;

W = \frac{1}{2} x k x e²              --------------------(ii)

Where;

k = the spring's constant = 439N/m                      [as calculated above]

e = extension  = 9 in = 9 x 0.0254m = 0.2286m  [Recall: 1 in  = 0.0254m]

<em>Substitute these values into equation (ii) as follows;</em>

W = \frac{1}{2} x 439 x (0.02286)²

W = 11.47 Nm or 11.47J

Therefore, the work done is 11.47J

Shalnov [3]
The mechanical advantage of a machine is the ratio of the force produced by the machine to the force applied to it. Therefore, we may calculate the applied force using:
Mechanical advantage = force by machine / force applied
6 = 2 / force applied
Force applied = 1/3

Thus, the distance that the effort must move will be 1/3 inch

Light of wavelength 480 nm illuminates a pair of slits separated by 0.27 mm. If a screen is place 1.7 m from the slits, determin
Dahasolnce [82]

Answer:

  Δy = 6.05 mm

Explanation:

The double slit phenomenon is described by the expression

      d sin θ = m λ                constructive interference

      d sin θ = (m + ½) λ       destructive interference

      m = 0,±1, ±2, ...

As they tell us that they measure the dark stripes, we are in a case of destructive interference, let's use trigonometry to find the sins tea

      tan θ = y / x

      y = x tan θ

In the interference experiments the measured angle is very small so we can approximate the tangent

      tan θ = sin θ / cos θ

     cos θ = 1

     tan θ = sin θ

     y = x sin θ

We substitute in the destructive interference equation

     d (y / x) = (m + ½) λ

    y = (m + ½) λ x / d

The first dark strip occurs for m = 0 and the third dark strip for m = 2. Let's find the distance for these and subtract it

 m = 0

      y₀ = (0+ ½) 480 10⁻⁹ 1.7 / 0.27 10⁻³

      y₀ = 1.511 10⁻³ m

 m = 2

     y₂ = (2 + ½) 480 10⁻⁹ 1.7 / 0.27 10⁻³

     y₂ = 7.556 10⁻³ m

The separation between these strips is Δy

     Δy = y₂-y₀

     Δy = (7.556 - 1.511) 10⁻³

     Δy = 6.045 10⁻³ m

     Δy = 6.05 mm
