Answer:
If x₁=12 cm then k=1.7985 N/m
If x₂=15 cm then k=1.4388 N/m
Explanation:
Hanging mass= 22 g=0.022 kg
Acceleration due to gravity g=9.81 m/s²
If x₁=displacement= 12 cm=0.12 m
k= spring constant


∴k = 1.7985 N/m
If x₂=15 cm=0.15 m
Force of the hanging mass is same however the spring constant will change

∴k = 1.4388 N/m
As the mass is not changing the spring constant has to change. That means that here there are two spring one with k=1.7985 N/m and the other with k= 1.4388 N/m
The free-body diagram of the forces acting on the flag is in the picture in attachment.
We have: the weight, downward, with magnitude

the force of the wind F, acting horizontally, with intensity

and the tension T of the rope. To write the conditions of equilibrium, we must decompose T on both x- and y-axis (x-axis is taken horizontally whil y-axis is taken vertically):


By dividing the second equation by the first one, we get

From which we find

which is the angle of the rope with respect to the horizontal.
By replacing this value into the first equation, we can also find the tension of the rope:
The book is lifted upward, but gravity points down, so the work done by gravity must be negative (so you can eliminate options 1 and 3).
The force exerted on the book by gravity has magnitude
<em>F</em> = <em>mg</em> = (10 N) (9.80 m/s^2) = 9.8 N ≈ 10 N
You raise the book 1.0 m in the opposite direction, so the work done is
<em>W</em> = (10 N) (-1.0 m) = -10 J
The last choice. Two arrows and the arrow up is shorter than the arrow down. Since the guy is falling and he’s opened his chute, he’s slowing down but he’s still falling meaning the force of gravity is stronger than the air resistance.
I’m pretty sure it is caused by the heat of the sun warming it up back into its original state of tar
