Answer:

0.48 N/cm

Explanation:

The original length is 10cm so with a force of 10cm, the extension will be 12.2-10=2.2 cm when force of 1N is exerted. Similarly, with a force of 3N, the extension is 16.4-10=6.4cm

The slope will be given by change in force/ change in extension and this is equivalent to the stiffness.

Change in force is 3-1=2 N

Change in exgension is 6.4-2.2=4.2 cm

The slope will be 2/4.2=0.4761904761904 N/cm

Rounded off, the slope is 0.48 N/cm and this is the stiffness of the spring.

Four point masses of 3.0 kg each are arranged in a square on masslessrods. The length of a side of the square is 0.50m. What is

Zigmanuir [339]

Answer:

Part a)

$I = 1.5 kg m^2$

Part b)

$I = 0.75 kg m^2$

Part c)

$I = 1.5 kg m^2$

Explanation:

Part a)

Moment of inertia of the system about an axis passing through B and C is given as

$I = mL^2 + mL^2 + m(0) + m(0)$

$I = 2mL^2$

$I = 2(3 kg)(0.50^2)$

$I = 1.5 kg m^2$

Part b)

Moment of inertia of the system about an axis passing through A and C is given as

$I = m(0^2) + m(\frac{L}{\sqrt2})^2 + m(0) + m(\frac{L}{\sqrt2})^2$

$I = 2m\frac{L^2}{2}$

$I = (3 kg)(0.50^2)$

$I = 0.75 kg m^2$

Part c)

Moment of inertia of the system about an axis passing through the center of the square and perpendicular to the plane of the square

$I = m(\frac{L}{\sqrt2})^2 + m(\frac{L}{\sqrt2})^2 + m(\frac{L}{\sqrt2})^2 + m(\frac{L}{\sqrt2})^2$

$I = 4m\frac{L^2}{2}$

$I = 2(3 kg)(0.50^2)$

$I = 1.5 kg m^2$
