Answer:

a. 25 N/m

b. 0.8886 s

c. 0.707 m/s

d. At the equilibrium point

Explanation:

m = 500 g = 0.5 kg

L = 20 cm = 0.2 m

A = 10 cm = 0.1 m

a. Let g = 10 m/s2, then the gravity of the 0.5 kg book acting on the spring is

F = mg = 0.5*10 = 5 N

If the spring is stretched L = 0.2 m under 5N load, then the spring constant k is:

k = F/l = 5 / 0.2 = 25 N/m

b. We can treat this as simple harmonic motion with magnitude A = 0.1 cm. The period of this motion is

T = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{m}{k}} = 2\pi\sqrt{\frac{0.5}{25}} = 0.8886 s

c. The book maximum speed:

\omega A = \sqrt{\frac{k}{m}}A = \sqrt{\frac{25}{0.5}}0.1 = 0.707 m/s

d. Due to the law of energy conservation, the maximum speed would occur at the equilibrium point. This is where the potential energy, elastic energy is 0 and the kinetic energy is greatest.

Andrei [34K]

Answer:

Mechanical advantage = 3

Explanation:

You exert a 100-N force on a pulley system to lift 300-N.

The mechanical advantage of the system is given by the ratio of output force to the input force.

Here, output force = 300 N and input force = 100 N

Mechanical advantage,

m=\dfrac{300}{100}\\\\m=3

Mechanical advantage is 3 it means that there are 3 sections of rope support. Hence, this is the required solution.
