Three identical 6.67-kg masses hang at rest from three identical springs, numbered as in the figure. Each spring has an unstretc

hed length of 0.23 m and a spring constant of 8.13 kN/m. How long, L , is spring 2?
[Hint: Draw some FBDs and apply Newton's second law. Remember to account for both the spring's stretch and its unstretched length.]

The length of the spring 2 due to arrangement of the equal masses is determined as 0.238 m.

<h3>Extension of the spring 2</h3>

The extension of the spring 2 is determined from the net force acting on spring 2.

F(net) = Kx

<em>Net force on spring 2 = sum of forces acting downwards - sum of forces acting upwards.</em>

Net force on spring 2 = (force on 2 + force on 3) - (force on 1)

F(net) = (m₂ + m₃)g - (m₁)g

F(net) = (6.67 + 6.67)9.8  -  (6.67)9.8

F(net) = 130.732 - 65.366

F(net) = 65.366 N

x = F/k

x = (65.366)/(8130)

x = 0.00804 m

The length of spring 2 = x + 0.23 m

                                     = 0.00804 m + 0.23 m = 0.238 m

Thus, the length of the spring 2 due to arrangement of the equal masses is determined as 0.238 m.

A person measures his or her heart rate by counting the number of beats in 30s. If 40±1 beats are counted in 30.0±0.5s, what is
nordsb [41]

Answer:

Rate = 1.33 \pm 0.055 beats per second

Explanation:

Number of heart beats = 40 \pm 1

time taken = 30.0 \pm 0.5 s

now we have

N = 40 \pm 2.5%

t = 30.0 \pm 1.67%

now rate of heart beat is defined as number of heart beat per unit of time

so we have

Rate = \frac{N}{t}

Rate = \frac{40 \pm 2.5}{30 \pm 1.67}

so we have

Rate = 1.33 \pm (2.5 + 1.67 )

Rate = 1.33 \pm 4.17%

Rate = 1.33 \pm 0.055 beats per second

D. 51 N. The minimum applied force that will cause the television slide is 51 N.

In order to solve this problem we have to use the force of static friction equation Fs = μs*n, where μs is the coefficient of static friction, and n is the normal force m*g.

With μs = 0.35, and n = 15kg*9.8m/s² = 147 N

Fs = (0.35)(147 N)

Fs = 51.45 N

Fs ≅ 51 N
