Answer: The force constant k is 10600 kg/s^2
Step by step:
Use the law of energy conservation. When the elevator hits the spring, it has a certain kinetic and a potential energy. When the elevator reaches the point of still stand the kinetic and potential energies have been transformed to work performed by the elevator in the form of friction (brake clamp) and loading the spring.
Let us define the vertical height axis as having two points: h=2m at the point of elevator hitting the spring, and h=0m at the point of stopping.
The total energy at the point h=2m is:

The total energy at the point h=0m is:

The two Energy values are to be equal (by law of energy conservation), which allows us to determine the only unknown, namely the force constant k:

For a body moving at a uniform velocity you can calculate the speed by dividing the distance traveled by the amount of time it took, for example one mile in 1/2 hour would give you 2 miles per hour. If the velocity is non-uniform all you can say is what the average speed is.

<span>F x L = W x X whereW=weight is total load = 80, L is length from fulcrum which is the unknown and what we are solving for. x= length we know. and F equals 50 force we know. So (W*X)/F=LL equals 64</span>
The correct answer is letter b.
To find the answer follow the following steps.
1. 6524.96 x .25 = X
2. 1631.24 = X
This works for all of the given answers to find the correct answer.
Answer:
n=2.053
Explanation:
We will use Snell's Law defined as:

Where n values are indexes of refraction and
values are the angles in each medium. For vacuum, the index of refraction in n=1. With this we have enough information to state:

Solving for
yields:

Remember to use degrees for trigonometric functions instead of radians!
