Answer:

At equilibrium, the sum of vertical forces are equal to zero. Let's analyze the downward and upward components of the forces.

Downward forces: F_{down} = Mg (Gravity)(g is the gravitational constant.)

Upward forces: F_{up} = kx (Spring)

Equilibrium condition: Mg - kx = 0.

x = \frac{Mg}{k}

L_{eq} = L_{0} + x

so

L_{eq} = L_{0} + \frac{Mg}{k}.

Explanation:

If there is no masses hanging from the spring, the length of the spring is equal to L_{0}. When there is a mass M hanging, the spring will be stretched by an amount of x. This distance can be found by using the equilibrium condition, that the sum of the forces is equal to zero.

Answer:

We need about 8769 meters of wire to produce a 2.6 kilogauss magnetic field.

Explanation:

Recall the formula for the magnetic field produced by a solenoid of length L. N turns, and running a current I:

B=\mu_0\,\frac{N}{L} \,I

So, in our case, where B = 2.6 KG = 0.26 Tesla; I is 3 amperes, and L = 0.57 m, we can find what is the number of turns needed;

B=\mu_0\,\frac{N}{L} \,I\\0.26=4\,\pi\,10^{-7}\frac{N}{0.57} \,3\\N=\frac{0.26*0.57\,10^7}{12\,\pi} \\N=39311.27

Therefore we need about 39312 turns of wire. Considering that each turn must have a length of \pi\,D, where D is the diameter of the plastic cylindrical tube, then the total length of the wire must be:

Length=39312\,(\pi\,D)=39312\,(\pi\,0.071)\approx 8768.66\,\,m

We can round it to about 8769 meters.
