Answer: 1.39 s
Explanation:
We can solve this problem with the following equations:
(1)
(2)
Where:
is the length the steel wire streches (taking into account 1mm=0.001 m)
is the length of the steel wire before being streched
is the force due gravity (the weight) acting on the pendulum with mass 
is the transversal area of the wire
is the Young modulus for steel
is the period of the pendulum
is the acceleration due gravity
Knowing this, let's begin by finding :
(3)
Where 
is the diameter of the wire
(4)
(5)
Knowing this area we can isolate from (1):
(6)
And substitute in (2):
(7)
(8)
Finally:
Answer:
C. -12 ab
Explanation:
The restoring force on a spring is given by Hooke's law:
where
k is the spring constant
x is the stretched (or compressed) displacement of the spring
In this problem we have:
k = 4a
x = 3b
Substituting into the equation, we find:
And the negative sign means that the direction of the force (negative) is opposite to the direction of the displacement (positive).
