Extension of the spring is 6 cm

\texttt{ }

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

<em>Hooke's Law states that the length of a spring is directly proportional to the force acting on the spring.</em>

\boxed {F = k \times \Delta x}

<em>F = Force ( N )</em>

<em>k = Spring Constant ( N/m )</em>

<em>Δx = Extension ( m )</em>

\texttt{ }

The formula for finding Young's Modulus is as follows:

\boxed {E = \frac{F / A}{\Delta x / x_o}}

<em>E = Young's Modulus ( N/m² )</em>

<em>F = Force ( N )</em>

<em>A = Cross-Sectional Area ( m² )</em>

<em>Δx = Extension ( m )</em>

<em>x = Initial Length ( m )</em>

Let us now tackle the problem !

\texttt{ }

<u>Given:</u>

initial extension of the spring = x = 3 cm

initial load = F = 15 N

final load = F' = 30 N

<u>Asked:</u>

final extension of the spring = x' = ?

<u>Solution:</u>

<em>We will use </em><em>Hooke's Law</em><em> to solve this problem:</em>

F : F' = kx : kx'

F : F' = x : x'

15 : 30 = 3 : x'

1 : 2 = 3 : x'

x' = 2 \times 3

\boxed {x' = 6 \texttt{ cm}}

\texttt{ }

Initially, the spring stretches by 3 cm under a force of 15 N. From these data, we can find the value of the spring constant, given by Hook's law:
k= \frac{F}{\Delta x}
where F is the force applied, and \Delta x is the stretch of the spring with respect to its equilibrium position. Using the data, we find
k= \frac{15 N}{3.0 cm}=5.0 N/cm

Now a force of 30 N is applied to the same spring, with constant k=5.0 N/cm. Using again Hook's law, we can find the new stretch of the spring:
\Delta x =  \frac{F}{k}= \frac{30 N}{5.0 N/cm}=6 cm

For what angle of incidence at the first mirror will this ray strike the midpoint of the second mirror (which is s=29.0cm long)
Lesechka [4]

The question is missing a diagram of the ray reflection. I attached a diagram which comes from a similar question in the answer section. The full question should be as follows:

Two plane mirrors intersect at right angles. A laser beam strikes the first of them at a point d = 10.0cmfrom their point of intersection, as shown in the figure. For what angle of incidence at the first mirror will this ray strike the midpoint of the second mirror (which is s=29.0cm long) after reflecting from the first mirror?

Answer:

34.6°

Explanation:

To strike the midpoint of the second mirror, the ray light will have to travel half of the distance vertically

i.e. 29/2 = 14.5

We can solve this through trigonometry.

Let the angle between the ray and the vertical plane mirror is known as α

tan α = 10/14.5

α = tan^{-1} (10/14.5) = 34.6°

The angle of incidence is the angle between the ray and the normal line of the mirror.

Let angle of incidence of first mirror be β

β = α = 34.6

Anna [14]

The magnitude of the tension in the string marked A is 52.5N

Generally, the equation for is mathematically given as

Let's take θ be an angle at A

So, tanθ = 3/8

Let's take α be an angle at B (Below X)

tanα = 5/4

Let's take β be an angle at C (Below x)

tanβ = 1/6

First we take the Horizontal Components

74.9cos(9.46°) = Acos(20.6°) + Bcos(51.3°)

By solving the equation, we get

A = 78.9 - 0.668B … (1)

Now, we take the vertical components

74.9sin(9.46°) + Asin(20.6°) = Bsin(51.3°)

By solving the equation, we get

40.07 = 1.015B

B = 39.5N

By substituting the value of B in equation (1)

A = 78.9 - 0.6668× 39.5

A = 52.5N

Hence, the magnitude of the tension in the string marked A is 52.5N
