Explanation:
Efficiency is defined as the ratio between the useful output over the total amount consumed. 
The fan does 500W of useful work while wasting 300 W. The total power consumption is 800 W (500 + 300).
Answer:
x₂=0.44m
Explanation:
First, we calculate the length the spring is stretch when the first block is hung from it:

Now, since the stretched spring is in equilibrium, we have that the spring restoring force must be equal to the weight of the block:

Solving for the spring constant k, we get:

Next, we use the same relationship, but for the second block, to find the value of the stretched length:

Finally, we sum this to the unstretched length to obtain the length of the spring:

In words, the length of the spring when the second block is hung from it, is 0.44m.
Answer:

Explanation:
The acceleration due to gravity on the surface of the Earth is given by:

where
G is the gravitational constant
M is the mass of the Earth
R is the radius of the Earth
Here we want to find the new Earth radius R' for which the gravitational acceleration at the surface, g', would be 3 times the current value of g:

So we would have

Solving the equation for R', we find
