Answer:

W = 19.8 J

Explanation:

14 lb force is required to stretch the spring by 4 inch distance

So we have

F = 14 lbf

F = 6.35 \times 9.8 N

F = 62.3 N

stretch in the spring is given as

x = 4 in = 0.1016 m

now we will have

F = kx

62.3 = k(0.1016)

k = 613.125 N/m

Now we need to find the work to stretch it by x = 10 in = 0.254 m

so we have

W = \frac{1}{2}kx^2

W = \frac{1}{2}(613.125)(0.254)^2

W = 19.8 J

What is the driving force for (a) heat transfer, (b) electric current, and (c) fluid flow?
lara31 [8.8K]

Answer:

The driving force for (a) heat transfer is temperature difference. (b) electric current is voltage difference. (c) fluid flow is pressure or hydraulic head difference.

Explanation: (a) The driving force for heat transfer is temperature difference. Heat transfer between two mediums is possible only if the two mediums are at different temperature, the higher the temperature, the higher the heat transfer.

(b) The driving force for electric current is voltage difference. Voltage difference is defined as the potential difference in charge between two points in electrical field. For electric current to occur,the voltage must be high.

(c) The driving force for fluid flow is pressure difference or hydraulic head difference. For fluid to move upward,it requires energy.
