A spring has a length of 0.270 m when a 0.300 kg mass hangs from it, and a length of 0.750 m when a 2.80 kg mass hangs from it.

(a) What is the force constant (in N/m) of the spring?

Answer:

k  = 51.09 N/m

Explanation:

Given,

mass, m₁ = 0.3 Kg

length of spring, x₁ = 0.27 m

Mass, m₂ = 2.80 Kg

Length of spring, x₂ = 0.750

We know that

Restoring force, F = k x

Gravitation force, F = m g

Now,

m₁ g = k x₁ ......(1)

And

m₂ g = k x₂   .......(2)

where k is spring constant

Subtracting equation (2)- (1)

(m₂-m₁)g = k(x₂-x₁)

(2.8-0.3) x 9.81 = k (0.75 - 0.27)

24.525 = k x 0.48

k  = 51.09 N/m

Hence, spring constant is 51.09 N/m.

12. A frain moves from rest to a speed of 25 m/s in 30.0 seconds. What is its acceleration?
ziro4ka [17]
  • initial velocity=u=0m/s
  • Final velocity=v=25m/s
  • Time=t=30s

\\ \tt\longmapsto Acceleration=\dfrac{v-u}{t}

\\ \tt\longmapsto Acceleration=\dfrac{25-0}{30}

\\ \tt\longmapsto Acceleration=\dfrac{25}{30}

\\ \tt\longmapsto Acceleration=0.8m/s^2

Physics double pivot question​
andriy [413]

Explanation:

Assuming the wall is frictionless, there are four forces acting on the ladder.

Weight pulling down at the center of the ladder (mg).

Reaction force pushing to the left at the wall (Rw).

Reaction force pushing up at the foot of the ladder (Rf).

Friction force pushing to the right at the foot of the ladder (Ff).

(a) Calculate the reaction force at the wall.

Take the sum of the moments about the foot of the ladder.

∑τ = Iα

Rw (3.0 sin 60°) − mg (1.5 cos 60°) = 0

Rw (3.0 sin 60°) = mg (1.5 cos 60°)

Rw = mg / (2 tan 60°)

Rw = (10 kg) (9.8 m/s²) / (2√3)

Rw = 28 N

(b) State the friction at the foot of the ladder.

Take the sum of the forces in the x direction.

∑F = ma

Ff − Rw = 0

Ff = Rw

Ff = 28 N

(c) State the reaction at the foot of the ladder.

Take the sum of the forces in the y direction.

∑F = ma

Rf − mg = 0

Rf = mg

Rf = 98 N
