Complete question:
A 200 g load attached to a horizontal spring moves in simple harmonic motion with a period of 0.410 s. The total mechanical energy of the spring–load system is 2.00 J. Find
(a) the force constant of the spring and (b) the amplitude of the motion.
Answer:
(a) the force constant of the spring = 47 N/m
(b) the amplitude of the motion = 0.292 m
Explanation:
Given;
mass of the spring, m = 200g = 0.2 kg
period of oscillation, T = 0.410 s
total mechanical energy of the spring, E = 2 J
The angular speed is calculated as follows;

(a) the force constant of the spring

(b) the amplitude of the motion
E = ¹/₂kA²
2E = kA²
A² = 2E/k

Answer:
r₁/r₂ = 1/2 = 0.5
Explanation:
The resistance of a wire is given by the following formula:
R = ρL/A
where,
R = Resistance of wire
ρ = resistivity of the material of wire
L = Length of wire
A = Cross-sectional area of wire = πr²
r = radius of wire
Therefore,
R = ρL/πr²
<u>FOR WIRE A</u>:
R₁ = ρ₁L₁/πr₁² -------- equation 1
<u>FOR WIRE B</u>:
R₂ = ρ₂L₂/πr₂² -------- equation 2
It is given that resistance of wire A is four times greater than the resistance of wire B.
R₁ = 4 R₂
using values from equation 1 and equation 2:
ρ₁L₁/πr₁² = 4ρ₂L₂/πr₂²
since, the material and length of both wires are same.
ρ₁ = ρ₂ = ρ
L₁ = L₂ = L
Therefore,
ρL/πr₁² = 4ρL/πr₂²
1/r₁² = 4/r₂²
r₁²/r₂² = 1/4
taking square root on both sides:
<u>r₁/r₂ = 1/2 = 0.5</u>
Energy flows with kinetic energy
Answer:
(A) 2.4 N-m
(B) 
(C) 315.426 rad/sec
(D) 1741.13 J
(E) 725.481 rad
Explanation:
We have given mass of the disk m = 4.9 kg
Radius r = 0.12 m, that is distance = 0.12 m
Force F = 20 N
(a) Torque is equal to product of force and distance
So torque
, here F is force and r is distance
So 
(B) Moment of inertia is equal to 
So 
Torque is equal to 
So angular acceleration 
(C) As the disk starts from rest
So initial angular speed 
Time t = 4.6 sec
From first equation of motion we know that 
So 
(D) Kinetic energy is equal to 
(E) From second equation of motion
