1. The amount of extension in an elastic spring varies directly as the weight hung on it. If a weight of 150 gm produces an exte

nsion of 2.9 cm, then what weight would produce an extension of 17.4 cm

Answer:

900 g

Step-by-step explanation:

let e be extension and w be weight

given e varies directly as w then the equation relating them is

e = kw ← k is the constant of variation

to find k use the condition w = 150 , e = 2.9 , then

2.9 = 150k ( divide both sides by 150 )

\frac{2.9}{150} = k , that is

k = \frac{29}{1500}

e = \frac{29}{1500} w ← equation of variation

when e = 17.4 , then

17.4 = \frac{29}{1500} w ( multiply both sides by 1500 )

26100 = 29w ( divide both sides by 29 )

900 = w

In AOPQ, o = 700 cm, p = 840 cm and q=620 cm. Find the measure of _P to the<br> nearest degree
Westkost [7]

Given:

In triangle OPQ, o = 700 cm, p = 840 cm and q=620 cm.

To find:

The measure of angle P.

Solution:

According to the Law of Cosines:

\cos A=\dfrac{b^2+c^2-a^2}{2bc}

Using Law of Cosines in triangle OPQ, we get

\cos P=\dfrac{o^2+q^2-p^2}{2oq}

\cos P=\dfrac{(700)^2+(620)^2-(840)^2}{2(700)(620)}

\cos P=\dfrac{490000+384400-705600}{868000}

\cos P=\dfrac{168800}{868000}

On further simplification, we get

\cos P=0.19447

P=\cos^{-1}(0.19447)

P=78.786236

P\approx 79

Therefore, the measure of angle P is 79 degrees.
