Answer:

L_{o}=0.1224m

Explanation:

Given data

Force F=2 N

Length L=17 cm = 0.17 m

Spring Constant k=42 N/m

To find

Relaxed length of the spring

Solution

From Hooke's Law we know that

F_{spring}=k_{s}|s|\\F_{spring}=k_{s}(L-L_{o})\\ 2N=(42N/m)(0.17m-L_{o})\\2=7.14-42L_{o}\\-42L_{o}=2-7.14\\42L_{o}=5.14\\L_{o}=(5.14/42)\\L_{o}=0.1224m

Four equal masses m are located at the corners of a square of side L, connected by essentially massless rods. Find the rotationa
skelet666 [1.2K]

Answer:

Explanation:

a )

Moment of inertial of four masses about axis that coincides with one side :

Out of four masses . location of two masses will lie on the axis so their moment of inertia will be zero .

Moment of inertia of the two remaining masses

= m L² + m L²

= 2 mL²

b )

Axis that bisects two opposite sides

Each of the four masses will lie at a distance of L / 2 from this axis so moment of inertia of the four masses

= 4 x m x ( L/2 )²

= 4 x  mL² / 4

= m L² .

What is the most likely place for a star to begin to form?
Rufina [12.5K]

Answer:

Stars are born within the clouds of dust and scattered throughout most galaxies. Deep within these clouds, turbulence creates knots with enough mass to cause the gas and dust to collapse under its own gravitational force.
