Answer:

W = 55.12 J

Explanation:

Given,

Natural length = 6 in

Force = 4 lb,  stretched length = 8.4 in

We know,

F = k x

k is spring constant

4 = k (8.4-6)

k = 1.67 lb/in

Work done to stretch the spring to 10.1 in.

W =k\int_{6}^{10.1} x

W = \dfrac{k}{2}[x^2]_6^{10.1}

W = \dfrac{1}{2}\times 1.67\times (10.1^2-6.0^2)

W = 55.12 J

Work done in stretching spring from 6 in to 10.1 in is equal to 55.12 J.

In January 2006, astronomers reported the discovery of a planet comparable in size to the earth orbiting another star and having
Orlov [11]

Answer:

R = 5.28  103 km

Explanation:

The definition of density is

              ρ = m / V

              V = m /ρ

Where m is the mass and V the volume of the body

The volume of a sphere is

            V = 4/3 π r³

Let's replace

             4/3 π r³ = m / ρ

             R =∛ ¾ m / ρ π

The mass of the planet is

              M = 5.5 Me

              R = ∛ ¾ 5.5 Me /ρ π

Let's reduce the density to SI units

             ρ = 1.76 g / cm³ (1 kg / 10³ g) (10² cm / 1 m)³

             ρ = 1.76 10³ kg / m³

Let's calculate

               R = ∛ ¾ 5.5 5.97 10²⁴ / (1.76 10³ pi)

               R = ∛ 0.14723 10²¹

               R = 0.528 10⁷ m

               R = 0.528 104 km

               R = 5.28  103 km
