(a) 392 N/m
Hook's law states that:
(1)
where
F is the force exerted on the spring
k is the spring constant
is the stretching/compression of the spring
In this problem:
- The force exerted on the spring is equal to the weight of the block attached to the spring:

- The stretching of the spring is

Solving eq.(1) for k, we find the spring constant:

(b) 17.5 cm
If a block of m = 3.0 kg is attached to the spring, the new force applied is

And so, the stretch of the spring is

And since the initial lenght of the spring is

The final length will be

0.022 has 2 digits because you would count from the left starting with the first nonzero number
Answer:
B
Explanation:
Water level remains unchanged
The first thing to realize is that the buoyancy force is the same as, or equal to the weight of the wood, this same force is also the same as or equal to the weight of the water displaced by the wood. In the two cases, the weight of the wood will be unaffected nonetheless, and thus the water level will remain the same.
Therefore, the answer is B, the water level remains unchanged.
Answer:
m1/m2 = 0.51
Explanation:
First to all, let's gather the data. We know that both rods, have the same length. Now, the expression to use here is the following:
V = √F/u
This is the equation that describes the relation between speed of a pulse and a force exerted on it.
the value of "u" is:
u = m/L
Where m is the mass of the rod, and L the length.
Now, for the rod 1:
V1 = √F/u1 (1)
rod 2:
V2 = √F/u2 (2)
Now, let's express V1 in function of V2, because we know that V1 is 1.4 times the speed of rod 2, so, V1 = 1.4V2. Replacing in the equation (1) we have:
1.4V2 = √F/u1 (3)
Replacing (2) in (3):
1.4(√F/u2) = √F/u1 (4)
Now, let's solve the equation 4:
[1.4(√F/u2)]² = F/u1
1.96(F/u2) =F/u1
1.96F = F*u2/u1
1.96 = u2/u1 (5)
Now, replacing the expression of u into (5) we have the following:
1.96 = m2/L / m1/L
1.96 = m2/m1 (6)
But we need m1/m2 so:
1.96m1 = m2
m1/m2 = 1/1.96
m1/m2 = 0.51
Answer:
B. Its density is lower than that of water
Explanation:
density = mass / volume
density of the liquid = 85 / 100 = 0.85 g/cm^3
now,
density of water is 1 g/cm^3 which is greater than the density of the given liquid ( 0.85 g/cm^3 )
