Answer:

Apply Hooke's Law to the integral application for work: W = int_a^b F dx , we get:

W = int_a^b kx dx

W = k * int_a^b x dx

Apply Power rule for integration: int x^n(dx) = x^(n+1)/(n+1)

W = k * x^(1+1)/(1+1)|_a^b

W = k * x^2/2|_a^b

 

From the given work: seven and one-half foot-pounds (7.5 ft-lbs) , note that the units has "ft" instead of inches.   To be consistent, apply the conversion factor: 12 inches = 1 foot then:

 

2 inches = 1/6 ft

 

1/2 or 0.5 inches =1/24 ft

To solve for k, we consider the initial condition of applying 7.5 ft-lbs to compress a spring  2 inches or 1/6 ft from its natural length. Compressing 1/6 ft of it natural length implies the boundary values: a=0 to b=1/6 ft.

Applying  W = k * x^2/2|_a^b , we get:

7.5= k * x^2/2|_0^(1/6)

Apply definite integral formula: F(x)|_a^b = F(b)-F(a) .

7.5 =k [(1/6)^2/2-(0)^2/2]

7.5 = k * [(1/36)/2 -0]

7.5= k *[1/72]

 

k =7.5*72

k =540

 

To solve for the work needed to compress the spring with additional 1/24 ft, we  plug-in: k =540 , a=1/6 , and b = 5/24 on W = k * x^2/2|_a^b .

Note that compressing "additional one-half inches" from its 2 inches compression is the same as to  compress a spring 2.5 inches or 5/24 ft from its natural length.

W= 540 * x^2/2|_((1/6))^((5/24))

W = 540 [ (5/24)^2/2-(1/6)^2/2 ]

W =540 [25/1152- 1/72 ]

W =540[1/128]

W=135/32 or 4.21875 ft-lbs

Hello, how was your day, help? ^ ^<br> solve for x
Natali5045456 [20]

Hi there!  

»»————- ★ ————-««

I believe your answer is:  

\boxed{x=100}

»»————- ★ ————-««  

Here’s why:  

  • Recall the Triangle Angle Sum Theorem: The three angles of all triangles add up to a sum of 180°.
  • We will set up an equation based on this and then solve.

⸻⸻⸻⸻

\boxed{\text{Solve for 'x':}}\\\\58 + 22 + x = 180\\-----------\\\rightarrow 80 + x = 180\\\\\rightarrow 80 - 80 + x = 180 - 80\\\\\rightarrow \boxed{x=100}

⸻⸻⸻⸻

»»————- ★ ————-««  

Hope this helps you. I apologize if it’s incorrect.
