Answer:
Number of days needed = 57
Explanation:
Depth of well = 115 feet
Distance traveled in day = 3 feet up
Distance traveled in night = 1 feet down.
Total displacement in 1 day = 3 - 1 = 2 feet up
When the snail reaches 112 feet up, the next 3 feet up motion on day will make it reach the top.
After 56 days the displacement of snail is 112 feet.
On the next day it moves up by 3 feet and reaches out of well.
Number of days needed = 57
<u>Answer:</u>
2N/cm
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
According to the Hooke's Law, the force required to extend or compress a spring is directly proportional distance you can stretch it, which is represented as:
where, is the force which is stretching or compressing the spring,
is the spring constant; and
is the distance the spring is stretched.
Substituting the given values to find the elastic constant to get:
Therefore, the elastic constant is 2 Newton/cm.
