Answer:

17.71N/m

Explanation:

The period of the spring is expressed according to the expression;

T = 2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{m}{k} } \\

m is the mass of the object

k is the force constant

Given

m = 5.50kg

T = 3.50s

Substitute into the formula;

T = 2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{m}{k} } \\3.5 = 2 (3.14) \sqrt{\frac{5.5}{k} } \\3.5 = 6.28 \sqrt{\frac{5.5}{k} } \\\frac{3.5}{6.28} =  \sqrt{\frac{5.5}{k} } \\0.557 = \sqrt{\frac{5.5}{k} } \\square \ both \ sides\\0.557^2 = (\sqrt{\frac{5.5}{k} })^2 \\0.3106 = \frac{5,5}{k}\\k = \frac{5.5}{0.3106}\\k =  17.71N/m

Hence the force constant of the spring is 17.71N/m

Two parallel wires separated by a distance of 0.6 m each carry current in the same direction. One wire is carrying a current of
mart [117]

Answer:

The value is  B =  3.33 *10^{-6} \  T

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

  The distance of separation is  d = 0.6 \  m

  The current on the one wire is I_1 =  9 \  A

  The current on the second wire is I_2 =  4 \ A

Generally the magnitude of the field exerted between the current carrying wire is

        B  =  B_1 - B_2

Here B_1 is the magnetic field due to the first wire which is mathematically represented as

         B_1 = \frac{\mu_o * I_1 }{2 \pi * d_1}

Here d_1 is the distance to the half way point of the separation and the value is  

    d_1 =  0.3 \  m

B_2 is the magnetic field due to the first wire which is mathematically represented as

         B_2  = \frac{\mu_o * I_2 }{2 \pi * d_2}

Here d_2 is the distance to the half way point of the separation and the value is  

    d_2 =  0.3 \  m  

This means that d_1 = d_2 = a =  0.3

So

     B =  \frac{\mu_o * I_1 }{2 \pi * d_1}  -  \frac{\mu_o * I_2 }{2 \pi * d_2}

=>  B =  \frac{\mu_o * (I_1 - I_2)}{2 \pi *0.3 }

=>  B =  \frac{  4\pi * 10^{-7}  * (9- 4)}{2 * 3.142  *0.3 }

=>  B =  3.33 *10^{-6} \  T

A piece of wood is floating in a bathtub. A second piece of wood sits on top of the first piece, and does not touch the water. I
Mashutka [201]

Answer:

the water level remains same

Explanation:

This can be explained by Archimedes's principle which says that the wood will sink if weight of wood is more than the weight of the water displaced with weight equal to the water displaced otherwise the wood will float.

Therefore, buoyancy or the buoyant force is the same as the weight of wood, the weight of the water displaced by wood is also the same as that of the weight of wood.

Thus, we can see that the weight of the wood remains same and so is the level of water.
