Answer:
Explanation:
Given that,
Mass of a crate is 22 kg
It moved up along the 15 degrees incline without tipping.
We need to find the corresponding magnitude of force P. The force P is acting in horizontal direction.
It means that the horizontal component of force is given by :
So, the horizontal component of force is 208.25 N.
Hello!
Use the formula for kinetic energy:
Plug in the given mass and velocity:
Simplify:
Answer: The force constant k is 10600 kg/s^2
Step by step:
Use the law of energy conservation. When the elevator hits the spring, it has a certain kinetic and a potential energy. When the elevator reaches the point of still stand the kinetic and potential energies have been transformed to work performed by the elevator in the form of friction (brake clamp) and loading the spring.
Let us define the vertical height axis as having two points: h=2m at the point of elevator hitting the spring, and h=0m at the point of stopping.
The total energy at the point h=2m is:
The total energy at the point h=0m is:
The two Energy values are to be equal (by law of energy conservation), which allows us to determine the only unknown, namely the force constant k:
