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.

Ejercicio 1: Un cuerpo gira en un círculo de 8cm de diámetro con una rapidez constante
Lera25 [3.4K]

Answer:

Exercise 1;

The centripetal acceleration is approximately 94.52 m/s²

Explanation:

1) The given parameters are;

The diameter of the circle = 8 cm = 0.08 m

The radius of the circle = Diameter/2 = 0.08/2 = 0.04 m

The speed of motion = 7 km/h = 1.944444 m/s

The centripetal acceleration = v²/r = 1.944444²/0.04 ≈ 94.52 m/s²

The centripetal acceleration ≈ 94.52 m/s²
