Therefore, if the block moves from its position of maximum spring stretch to maximum spring compression in 0.25 s, the time required for a full cycle is twice as much; T = 0.5 s.
Answer :
south
Explanation :
Given that,
Force = 200 N
Length = 2.00 m
Mass = 5.00 kg
We know that , the formula of the angular acceleration

We know the moment of inertia of rod

Now, the torque is

The angular acceleration



Negative sign represent of south direction.
Hence, this is the required solution.
The answer would be A, since at that position the Earth is fully/partially being engulfed in a shadow cast by the moon from the sun’s rays.
Hope this helps!
