Suppose you have three springs with force constants of k1 = k2 = k3 = 3.70 x 10^3 N/m. What is their effective force constant if

one is hung from the other in series? You may assume the springs have negligible mass.
The answer should be in N/m.

Answer:

The effective force constant is 1233.33 N/m.

Explanation:

It is given that,

Force constant 1, k_1=3.7\times 10^3\ N/m

Force constant 2, k_2=3.7\times 10^3\ N/m

Force constant 3, k_3=3.7\times 10^3\ N/m

The effective force constant if one is hung from the other in series is given by :

\dfrac{1}{K_{eff}}=\dfrac{1}{k_1}+\dfrac{1}{k_2}+\dfrac{1}{k_3}

\dfrac{1}{K_{eff}}=\dfrac{1}{3.7\times 10^3}+\dfrac{1}{3.7\times 10^3}+\dfrac{1}{3.7\times 10^3}

K_{eff}=1233.33\ N/m

So, the effective force constant is 1233.33 N/m. Hence, this is the required solution.

A wagon wheel consists of 8 spokes of uniform diamter, each of mass m, and length L. The outer ring has a mass m rin. What is th
Genrish500 [490]

Answer:

L^2(\dfrac{8m}{3}+m_r)

Explanation:

m = Mass of each rod

L = Length of rod = Radius of ring

m_r = Mass of ring

Moment of inertia of a spoke

\dfrac{mL^2}{3}

For 8 spokes

8\dfrac{mL^2}{3}

Moment of inertia of ring

m_rL^2

Total moment of inertia

8\dfrac{mL^2}{3}+m_rL^2\\\Rightarrow L^2(\dfrac{8m}{3}+m_r)

The moment of inertia of the wheel through an axis through the center and perpendicular to the plane of the ring is L^2(\dfrac{8m}{3}+m_r).

A machine is designed to fill jars with 16 ounces of coffee. A consumer suspects that the machine is not filling the jars comple
babunello [35]

Answer:

a) Null hypothesis:  \mu \geq 16  

Alternative hypothesis :\mu  

b) t=\frac{15.6-16}{\frac{0.3}{\sqrt{8}}}=-3.77  

p_v =P(t_{(7)}  

If we compare the p value and the significance level given \alpha=0.1 we see that p_v so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis.

c) We can conclude that the mean is significantly less than 16 ounces at 10% of significance.  so then the consumer suspect is correct.

Explanation:

Data given and notation  

\bar X=15.6 represent the mean for the sample

s=0.3 represent the sample standard deviation  

n=8 sample size  

\mu_o =16 represent the value that we want to test  

\alpha=0.1 represent the significance level for the hypothesis test.  

t would represent the statistic (variable of interest)  

p_v represent the p value for the test (variable of interest)  

State the null and alternative hypotheses.  

Is a one tailed left test.  

What are H0 and Ha for this study?  

Null hypothesis:  \mu \geq 16  

Alternative hypothesis :\mu  

The degrees of freedom on this case are:

df=n-1=8-1=7

Compute the test statistic

The statistic for this case is given by:  

t=\frac{\bar X-\mu_o}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}} (1)  

t-test: "Is used to compare group means. Is one of the most common tests and is used to determine if the mean is (higher, less or not equal) to an specified value".  

Calculate the statistic  

We can replace in formula (1) the info given like this:  

t=\frac{15.6-16}{\frac{0.3}{\sqrt{8}}}=-3.77  

Give the appropriate conclusion for the test

Since is a one side left tailed test the p value would be:  

p_v =P(t_{(7)}  

Conclusion  

If we compare the p value and the significance level given \alpha=0.1 we see that p_v so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis.

We can conclude that the mean is significantly less than 16 ounces at 10% of significance.  so then the consumer suspect is correct.
