Answer:
F₂= 210 pounds
Explanation:
Conceptual analysis
Hooke's law
Hooke's law establishes that the elongation (x) of a spring is directly proportional to the magnitude of force (F) applied to it, provided that said spring is not permanently deformed:
F= K*x Formula (1)
Where;
F is the magnitude of the force applied to the spring in Newtons (Pounds)
K is the elastic spring constant, which relates force and elongation. The higher its value, the more work it will cost to stretch the spring. (Pounds/inch)
x the elongation of the spring (inch)
Data
The data given is incorrect because if we apply them the answer would be illogical.
The correct data are as follows:
F₁ =80 pounds
x₁= 8 inches
x₂= 21 inches
Problem development
We replace data in formula 1 to calculate K :
F₁= K*x₁
K=( F₁) / (x₁)
K=( 80) / (8) = 10 pounds/ inche
We apply The formula 1 to calculate F₂
F₂= K*x₂
F₂= (10)*(21)
F₂= 210 pounds
So we want to know what will happen if we put a magnetically soft material in a strong magnetic field. A magnetically soft material is a material whose magnetic field can easily be reversed. Those are ferromagnetic materials. Iron is such a material. When a magnetically soft material is placed into a strong magnetic field it gets its own magnetic field. But its not a permanent magnetic field, it can be changed by a different strong magnetic field.
