Explanation:

Given that,

Weight of the friend, W = 600 N

When the friend sits on the metal frame it bends downward 4 cm, we can say that the compression in the it is 4 cm or 0.04 m

To find,

Spring constant for this chair or k

Solve :

The weight of an object is equal to the force exerted by the gravitational force, F = 600 N

According to Hooke's law, the force exerted by the spring is given by :

F = kx

k is the spring constant

k=\dfrac{F}{x}

k=\dfrac{600\ N}{0.04\ m}

k = 15000 N/m

Therefore, the spring constant of the spring is 15000 N/m.

Mary pushes a crate by applying force of 18 newtons. Unable to push it alone, she gets help from her friend, Anne. Together they
maw [93]
 <span>This problem is relatively simple, in order to solve this problem the only formula you need to know is the formula for friction, which is: 

Ff = UsN 

where Us is the coefficient of static friction and N is the normal force. 

In order to get the crate moving you must first apply enough force to overcome the static friction: 

Fapplied = Ff 

Since Fapplied = 43 Newtons: 

Fapplied = Ff = 43 = UsN 

and it was given that Us = 0.11, so all you have to do is isolate N by dividing both sides by 0.11 

43/0.11 = N = 390.9 which is approximately 391 or C. 3.9x10^2</span>

Personal space differs from culture to culture, though it is widely acknowledged that Europe and U.S have bigger personal space requirements that their counterparts in Asia.

Hakeem might not realize it but it’s commonly accepted for Americans to have a distance between four to twelve feet between one another in social settings, especially in professional ones. A distance of two feet is only acceptable if the individual is part of the person’s inner circle, such as friends and family.
