Supposing that the spring is un stretched when θ = 0, and has a toughness of k = 60 N/m.It seems that the spring has a roller support on the left end. This would make the spring force direction always to the left
Sum moments about the pivot to zero.
10.0(9.81)[(2sinθ)/2] + 50 - 60(2sinθ)[2cosθ] = 0 98.1sinθ + 50 - (120)2sinθcosθ = 0 98.1sinθ + 50 - (120)sin(2θ) = 0
by iterative answer we discover that
θ ≈ 0.465 radians
θ ≈ 26.6º
Gravitational potential energy :)
We don't know that at all. The 3rd law says that the REaction is opposite and EQUAL to the action. We don't know where that "twice as much" comes from.
Hey there!
In a gas state, particles have lots of energy, so they move around very rapidly, hitting each other and flowing around, that's why you see them moving so freely. Because they have so much energy, the substance is likely to be harder, as it can obtain more thermal energy, or heat.
Hope this helps!
The answer is a. generator!
