The work done in stretching the spring from 50 cm to 80 cm is 67.5 J.

<h3>Hooke's Law</h3>

Hooke's law states that the force applied to an elastic material is directly proportional to its extension, provided its elastic limit is not exceeded.

To calculate the amount of work done by Hooke's law, first, we need to find the force constant of the spring.

Formula:

  • F = ke................. Equation 1

Where:

  • F = Force applied
  • k = Spring constant
  • e = extension

make k the subject of the equation

  • k = F/e................ Equation 2

From the question,

Given:

  • F = 450 N
  • e = 30 cm = 0.3 m

Substitute these values into equation 2

  • k = 450/0.3
  • k = 1500 N/m.

Finally, To find the work done in stretching the spring from 50 cm to 80 cm, we use the formula below.

  • W = ke²/2........... Equation 3

Where:

  • W = Work done
  • k = spring constant
  • e = extension

Also, From the question,

Given:

  • e = (80-50) = 30 cm = 0.3 m
  • k = 1500 N/m

Substitute these values into equation 3

  • W = 1500(0.3²)/2
  • W = 67.5 J.

Hence, The work done in stretching the spring from 50 cm to 80 cm is 67.5 J.

Anestetic [448]

Answer:

The fraction of its volume inside liquid  is increased .

Explanation:

According to principle pf floatation , an object floats on the surface of water

when the weight of  liquid displaced by it becomes equal to weight of the object . weight of the liquid depends upon the density of the liquid .

In the second case , when the body is dipped into liquid of lesser density , in order to balance the weight of body , more volume of liquid will be displaced so that weight of displaced liquid becomes equal to object's weight . So the body floats with greater depth inside liquid . The fraction of its volume inside liquid  is increased .

natulia [17]

Answer:

The upper limit on the flow rate = 39.46 ft³/hr

Explanation:

Using Ergun Equation to calculate the pressure drop across packed bed;

we have:

\frac{\delta P}{L}= \frac{150 \mu_oU(1- \epsilon )^2}{d^2p \epsilon^3} + \frac{1.75 \rho U^2(1-\epsilon)}{dp \epsilon^3}

where;

L = length of the bed

\mu = viscosity

U = superficial velocity

\epsilon = void fraction

dp = equivalent spherical diameter of bed material (m)

\rho = liquid density (kg/m³)

However, since U ∝ Q and all parameters are constant ; we can write our equation to be :

ΔP = AQ + BQ²

where;

ΔP = pressure drop

Q = flow rate

Given that:

9.6 = A12 + B12²

Then

12A + 144B = 9.6       --------------   equation (1)

24A + 576B = 24.1    ---------------  equation (2)

Using elimination methos; from equation (1); we first multiply it by 2 and then subtract it from equation 2 afterwards ; So

288 B = 4.9

       B = 0.017014

From equation (1)

12A + 144B  = 9.6

12A + 144(0.017014) = 9.6

12 A = 9.6 - 144(0.017014)

A = \frac{9.6 -144(0.017014}{12}

A = 0.5958

Thus;

ΔP = AQ + BQ²

Given that ΔP = 50 psi

Then

50 = 0.5958 Q + 0.017014 Q²

Dividing by the smallest value and then rearranging to a form of quadratic equation; we have;

Q² + 35.02Q - 2938.8 = 0

Solving the quadratic equation and taking consideration of the positive value for the upper limit of the flow rate ;

Q = 39.46 ft³/hr
