To perform an experiment to determine the force constant of a spring, you will need a stand with a boss and clamp, a spiral spring, a meter rule and different weights.

The setup is arranged as shown in the image attached. The natural length of the spring is first recorded. Different weights are added to the spring one after the other and the extension is recorded.

The weight is now plotted on the vertical axis and the extension is plotted on the horizontal axis. The slope of the graph is the force constant of the spring.

The figure shows two 1.0 kg blocks connected by a rope. a second rope hangs beneath the lower block. both ropes have a mass of 2
lutik1710 [3]
We need first to use the formula  F=m(a+g), m iis the total mass, a is the acceleration, g is gravity pulling the blocks. So the procedure will be 
<span>m=2kg(both blocks)+500g(both ropes) → m=2.5kg </span>
<span>a=3.00m/s^2 </span>
<span>g=9.8m/s^2 </span>
<span>F=m(a+g) → F=2.5kg (3.00m/s^2 + 9.8m/s^2) → F=2.5kg (12.8m/s^2) → F=32 N 
To calculate the tension at the top of rope 1 you need to use the formula </span>T=m(a+g) so it will be <span>T=m(a+g) → T=1.5kg(12.8m/s^2) → T=19.2N 
</span>We can now calculate the tension at the bottom of rope 1 using the formula: <span>T=m(a+g) → T=1.25kg(12.8m/s^2) → T=16N 
</span>Now to find the tension at the top of rope 2 we do it like this: 
<span>T=m(a+g) → T=.25kg(12.8m/s^2) → T=3.2</span>

Two protons moving with same speed in same direction repel each other but what about two protons moving with different speed in
Thepotemich [5.8K]

Answer:In the case of two proton beams the protons repel one another because they have the same sign of electrical charge. There is also an attractive magnetic force between the protons, but in the proton frame of reference this force must be zero! Clearly then the attractive magnetic force that reduces the net force between protons in the two beams as seen in our frame of reference is relativistic. In particular the apparent magnetic forces or fields are relativistic modifications of the electrical forces or fields. As such modifications, they cannot be stronger than the electrical forces and fields that produce them. This follows from the fact that switching frames of reference can reduce forces, but it can’t turn what is attractive in one frame into a repulsive force in another frame.

In the case of wires the net charges in two wires are zero everywhere along the wires. That makes the net electrical forces between the wires very nearly zero. Yet the relativistic magnetic forces and fields will be of the same sort as in the case of two beams of charges of a single sign. This is true even in the frame of reference of what we think as the moving charges, that is, the electrons. In the frame of reference moving at the drift velocity of these current-carrying electrons, it is the protons or positively charged ions that are moving in the other direction. Consequently in any frame of reference for current-carrying wires in parallel, the net electrical force will be essentially zero, and there will be a net attractive magnetic force
