A 800 kg safe is 2.1 m above a heavy-duty spring when the rope holding the safe breaks. The safe hits the spring and compresses

it 46 cm. What is the spring constant of the spring?

Answer:

k = 17043.5 N/m = 17.04 KN/m

Explanation:

First we need to find the force applied by safe pn the spring:

F = Weight of Safe

F = mg

where,

F = Force Applied by the safe on the spring = ?

m = mass of safe = 800 kg

g = 9.8 m/s²

Therefore,

F = (800 kg)(9.8 m/s²)

F = 7840 N

Now, using Hooke's Law:

F = kΔx

where,

K = Spring Constant = ?

Δx = compression = 46 cm = 0.46 m

Therefore,

7840 N = k (0.46 m)

k = 7840 N/0.46 m

<u>k = 17043.5 N/m = 17.04 KN/m</u>

Nikolay [14]

The dimensions of the rectangle are:

l = 50 m

b = 100/\pi m

<h3>What is a perimeter in math?</h3>

The perimeter is the length of the outline of a shape. To find the perimeter of a rectangle or square you have to add the lengths of all the four sides.

<h3>How do we find a perimeter of a rectangle?</h3>

The perimeter of a rectangle,denoted by P is given by the formula, P=2l+2b, where l is the length and b is the breadth of the rectangle.

<h3>Given:</h3>

As per the question:

Perimeter of the room is given as P = 200 m

The region is rectangular having a semicircle at each end.

Now,

Let 'l' be the length of the rectangle, 'b' be its breadth and 'r' be the radius of the semi-circle at each end.

Then, Area of the given rectangle, A = lb

Perimeter of the room, P is =\pi r+l+\pi r+l=2\pi r+2l=\pi b+2l

Therefore,  \pi b+2l=200

b=(200-2l)/\pi

Now,

Area, A = l(200-2l)/\pi=(200l-2l^{2} )/\pi

Now, differentiate A w.r.t l:

Again differentiating w.r.t 'l', we get:

d^{2} A/dl^{2} =-4l/\pi< 0

Thus we get maximum are when dA/dl=0

Therefore,

(200-4l)/\pi=0

l = 50 m

Now, from

\pi b+2l=200

\pi b=200-2*50

b=100/\pi

r=b/2=50/\pi
