In a control system, an accelerometer consists of a 4.63-g object sliding on a calibrated horizontal rail. A low-mass spring att

aches the object to a flange at one end of the rail. Grease on the rail makes static friction negligible, but rapidly damps out vibrations of the sliding object. When subject to a steady acceleration of 0.832g, the object should be at a location 0.450 cm away from its equilibrium position.
Required:
Find the force constant of the spring required for the calibration to be correct.

Answer:

8.4 N/m

Explanation:

m = Mass of block = 4.63 gm

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81\ \text{m/s}^2

x = Displacement of spring = 0.45 cm

a = Acceleration of subject = 0.832g

k = Spring constant

Force is given by

F=ma

From Hooke's law

F=kx

So

ma=kx\\\Rightarrow k=\dfrac{ma}{x}\\\Rightarrow k=\dfrac{4.63\times 10^{-3}\times 0.832\times 9.81}{0.45\times 10^{-2}}\\\Rightarrow k=8.4\ \text{N/m}

The force constant of the spring is 8.4 N/m.

a cylindrical jar is 10cm long and has a cross sectional area of 36cm. if it is completely filled with a fluid of relative densi
ki77a [65]

Answer:

The mass of the fluid is 72 g.

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

Height (h) = 10 cm

Area of cross section (A) = 36cm²

Relative density = 0.2

Mass =..?

Next, we shall determine the volume of the cylinder. This can be achieved by doing the following:

Volume = Area x Height

Volume = 36 x 10

Volume = 360 cm³

Next, we shall determine the density of the liquid.

This can be obtained as follow:

Relative density = density of substance/density of water.

Relative density = 0.2

Density of water = 1 g/cm³

Density of fluid =...?

Relative density = density of substance/density of water.

0.2 = density of fluid / 1 g/cm³

Cross multiply

Density of fluid = 0.2 x 1 g/cm³

Density of fluid = 0.2 g/cm³

Finally, we shall determine the mass of fluid as follow:

Volume = 360 cm³

Density of fluid = 0.2 g/cm³

Mass of fluid =...?

Density = mass /volume.

0.2 g/cm³ = mass of fluid /360 cm³

Cross multiply

Mass of fluid = 0.2 g/cm³ x 360 cm³

Mass of fluid = 72 g

Therefore, the mass of the fluid in the jar is 72 g.

A) what is the light source for a plant growing in the shade?
Ulleksa [173]

a.) Plants that thrive in the shade are often able to hold on to sunlight for extensive periods of time; they're in a sense like the camels of the plaNt WoRld.

b.) Though artificial lights are not nearly as beneficial as the sun, one could invest in one of them plant growing light thingies, but sun-loving plants might be sad if u do this instead of letting them soak in ePic rays from the sun.
