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}}

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

Mila [183]

Answer:

F = 385.56 N

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass, m = 37.8 kg

He applies a horizontal force and cross the wooden floor.

We need to find the force that must be applied to move a dog with a constant speed of 1 m/s.

The coefficient of kinetic friction between the dog in the floor is 1.02.

The net force acting on it is given by :

F = f- μmg

f is force due to constant speed, f = 0 (since, a = 0)

F = μmg

= 1.02 × 37.8 × 10

= 385.56 N

Hence, the required force is 385.56 N.

How does the sum of forces help you
densk [106]

Answer:

the net force is the resultant of all the forces; it is the result of adding all the forces together as vectors. For the situation of the three forces on the force board, the net force is the sum of force vectors A + B + C.

Explanation:

I hope this helps!!!
