Answer:

<h2>1567.09 N/m</h2>

Explanation:

Step one:

given data

mass m=5kg

compression x= 3.13cm to m= 0.0313m

<em>According to Hooke's law, provided the elastic limit of an elastic material is not exceeded the extension e is directly proportional to the applied force</em>

F=ke

where

k= spring constant in N/m

e= extension/compression in

Step two:

assume g= 9.81m/s^2

F=mg

F=5*9.81

F=49.05N

substitute in the expression F=ke

49.05=k*0.0313

k=49.05/0.0313

k=1567.09 N/m

<u>The force constant (in N/m) of the spring is 1567.09 N/m</u>

Schach [20]
In a force diagram set-up, we name the angle of inclination theta, g as the acceleration due to gravity. In this case, the forces acting on the box going down is the weight itself impeded by the friction between the box and the inclined plane.

The weight of the box is expressed as mg sin theta
The frictional force is expressed as the normal force times the coefficient of friction that is expressed as mu g cos theta.

By Newton's second law of motion,  F = ma = mg sin theta - mu g cos theta
Thus, a = g (sin theta - u cos theta

Explain why ventilation is very important if there is risk of exposure to random gas in your home school
bonufazy [111]
Ventilation is very important because it helps remove the gas form people’s homes and schools and it redirects the random gas outside so it is less likely to hurt people
