A light spring obeys Hooke's law. The spring's unstretched length is 34.0 cm. One end of the spring is attached to the top of a

doorframe and a weight with mass 7.00 kg is hung from the other end. The final length of the spring is 44.5 cm. (a) Find its spring constant (in N/m).

When the spring is extended by 44.5 cm - 34.0 cm = 10.5 cm = 0.105 m, it exerts a restoring force with magnitude R such that the net force on the mass is

∑ F = R - mg = 0

where mg = weight of the mass = (7.00 kg) g = 68.6 N.

It follows that R = 68.6 N, and by Hooke's law, the spring constant is k such that

k (0.105 m) = 68.6 N   ⇒   k = (68.6 N) / (0.105 m) ≈ 653 N/m

The top pair of pliers failed to loosen a stubborn bolt, but the bottom pair successfully removed it.
Lesechka [4]

The top pair of pliers failed to loosen a stubborn bolt, but the bottom pair successfully removed it. Because the contact between the bolt and the   pliers working surface is less.

<h3>What is mechanical advantage ?</h3>

Mechanical advantage is a measure of the ratio of output force to input force in a system, it is used to obtained efficiency of the given mechanical machine.

The efficiency to open the stubborn bolt depends upon the contact between the working surface of the pliers and the bolt.

The contact between the bolt and the top pair of pliers working surface is less. Its mechanical advantage is less.

Hence, the top pair of pliers failed to loosen a stubborn bolt, but the bottom pair successfully removed it.

To learn more about the mechanical advantage, refer to the link;

1. What is the potential energy of a 4-kilogram potted plant that is on a 1 meter-high plant
Yuri [45]

39.2 J

Explanation:

Step 1:

To find the potential energy the following formula is used.

Potential Energy = m × g × h

Where,

m = Mass

g = Acceleration due to gravity

h =  Height

Step 2:

Here m = 4 kg, g = 9.8 m/s², h = 1 m

Potential Energy = ( 4 × 9.8 × 1)

                             = 39.2 J

Explain what differentiates the Earth’s crust and lithosphere.
Allisa [31]

Answer:

What is the difference between the crust and lithosphere? The crust (whether continental or oceanic) is the thin layer of distinctive chemical composition overlying the ultramafic upper mantle. ... The lithosphere is the rigid outer layer of the Earth required by plate tectonic theory.

Explanation:

Hope this helps!
