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.

An early submersible craft for deep-sea exploration was raised and lowered by a cable from a ship. When the craft was stationary
rusak2 [61]

Answer:

a) 5200 N  b) 8800 N

Explanation:

a) tension in the cable when it was being lowered to the sea floor = weight of the object which acts downward ( equals the tension in the cable when the craft was stationary in opposite direction)  - the drag force which will act upward =  7000 - 1800 = 5200 N

b) tension in the cable when the craft was being raised since the tension will act upward and the drag force and the weight will act downward = 7000 + 1800 = 8800 N

Ne4ueva [31]

Explanation :

Bioinformatics is the science that manages the database, digital tools and software used by both medicine and forensic science to store and analyze DNA.

It involves the use of computers to collect all the data and organize data. It also develops methods and computational tools for understanding biological data.

It helps in tracing the evolution of organism using DNA and builds a computational model.
