Answer:

The work done in stretching the spring is 8 lb.ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

Applied force, F = 192 lb

extension of the spring, x = 3 ft

Determine the spring constant from the applied force and extension;

k = \frac{F}{x} \\\\k = \frac{192 \ lb}{3 \ ft} \\\\k = 64 \ lb/ft

When the spring is stretched 6 inches beyond its natural length, the work done is calculated as follows;

x = 6 inches = 0.5 ft

W = \frac{1}{2} kx^2\\\\W =  \frac{1}{2} (64 \ lb/ft)(0.5 \ ft)^2\\\\W = 8 \ lb.ft

Therefore, the work done in stretching the spring is 8 lb.ft

the area of the triangle below is 1/4 square meters. what is the length of the base. express your answer in simplest form
Alexeev081 [22]

Answer:

4/5

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Given</u>,

Area of the triangle = 1/4 square meters

From the diagram,

Height = 2/5 m

<u>To find</u> : Length of the base

<u>Formula</u> : -

A = bh/2

Here,

A denotes Area

b denotes Base

h denotes Height

A = 1/4

h = 2/5

A = bh/2

Cross multiply,

A * 2 = bh

2A = bh

2 * (1/4) = b * (2/5)

(1 * 2)/4 = (b * 2)/5

2/4 = 2b/5

1/2 = 2b/5

Cross multiply,

1 * 5 = 2 * 2b

5 = 4b

b = 4/5 meters

Hence,

The length of the base is 4/5 meters.
