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.

A firefighter with a weight of 756 N slides down a vertical pole with an acceleration of 2.96 m/s2, directed downward. What are
Katen [24]

Answer:

a) F = 527.65 N, Force applied is upwards.

b)F = - 527.65 N, where, negative sign depicts Force is applied downwards.

Explanation:

Data provided:

Weight of the firefighter = 756 N

Mass of the firefighter = 756/9.8 = 77.14 Kg

Acceleration, a = 2.96 m/s²

a) In the absence of the pole the firefighter would have been moving down with an acceleration of 9.8 m/s (i.e the acceleration due to the gravity), but due to the presence of the pole the acceleration of the firefighter has been reduced. thus, a force is applied by the pole on the firefighter to reduce the acceleration.

therefore, we have

F = ma(net) = 77.14 × (9.8-2.96) = 527.65 N, Force applied is upwards.

B) According to the Newton's third law, the force will be equal and opposite to the force in the part a)

thus, we have

F = - 527.65 N

You're driving your new sports car at 85 mph over the top of a hill that has a radius of curvature of 525 m.
Bumek [7]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Speed of the sports car, v = 85 mph = 37.99 m/s

The radius of curvature, r = 525 m

Let W_N is the normal weight and W_A is the apparent weight of the person. Its apparent weight is given by :

W_A=mg-\dfrac{mv^2}{r}

So, \dfrac{W_A}{W_N}=\dfrac{mg-\dfrac{mv^2}{r}}{mg}

\dfrac{W_A}{W_N}=\dfrac{g-\dfrac{v^2}{r}}{g}

\dfrac{W_A}{W_N}=\dfrac{9.8-\dfrac{(37.99)^2}{525}}{9.8}

\dfrac{W_A}{W_N}=0.719

or

\dfrac{W_A}{W_N}=71.9\%

Hence, this is the required solution.
