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

Solve for x 0°&lt;x&lt;360<br>3cos2x +sinx=1​
BartSMP [9]

Step-by-step explanation:

3cos2x +sinx=1

3(1-2sin²x)+sinx=1

3-6sin²x+sinx=1

sinx(-6sinx+1)=1

either

sinx=1

sinx=sin(90)

:.x=90

or

-6sinx+1=1

-6sinx=1-1

sinx=0/-6

sinx=sin0,sin180

:.x=0,180and90
