The resultant force will be twice the applied force.

In a lever, the total distance from the applied force to the fulcrum is the effort arm. And, the distance between load and the fulcrum is the load arm.

When the effort arm is two times the load arm, it means the resultant force will be twice the applied force.

Because, Force = displacement × speed

The work done by the load arm and the effort arm is the same. If the applied force is f and the length of the effort arm is 2x, the work done by the effort arm is f × 2x. Similarly, the work done by the load arm is F · x. So, F = 2f. Since the effort arm is twice the length of the load arm, the resultant force will be twice the applied force.

A 5.30kg block hangs from a spring with a spring constant 1700 N/m. The block is pulled down 4.50cm from the equilibrium positio

Andru [333]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to the frequency in a spring, the conservation of energy and the total mechanical energy in the body (kinetic or potential as the case may be)

PART A) By definition the frequency in a spring is given by the equation

$f = \frac{1}{2\pi} \sqrt{\frac{k}{m}}$

Where,

m = mass

k = spring constant

Our values are,

k=1700N/m

m=5.3 kg

Replacing,

$f = \frac{1}{2\pi} \sqrt{\frac{1700}{5.3}}$

$f=2.85 Hz$

PART B) To solve this section it is necessary to apply the concepts related to the conservation of energy both potential (simple harmonic) and kinetic in the spring.

$\frac{1}{2}kA^2 = \frac{1}{2}mv^2 + \frac{1}{2} kY^2$
