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.

Which of Earth's spheres have the greatest impact from the forest fire?
Vera_Pavlovna [14]
I would say the atmosphere because air and oxygen are essential for human life however it is debatable. You should check out this prezi and judge for yourself which sphere is effected the most from forest fires based on the descriptions on how a forest fire effects all four spheres.

While filming an intense action sequence for the next James Bond movie, a controlled explosion detonates 1.1 km away from the ac
kolezko [41]

Answer:

The time that will pass between the feeling and hearing the explosion is 2,86 secs

Explanation:

First, let's calculate the time that the wave takes to travel until the actors feel the explosion:

1,1 km*\frac{1.000 mts}{1 km} *\frac{sec}{3.000 mts} = 0,37 secs

Now, the time that pass while the actors hear the sound is:

<em>(Remember that the sound speed in the air is 340 m/s on average)</em>

1,1 km * \frac{1.000 mts}{1 km} * \frac{sec}{340 mts} = 3,23 secs

So, the time between the feeling and hearing is 3,23 - 0,37 = 2,86 secs

A 75 kg man and a 100. Kg woman are playing tug of war on a frictionless surface. The man accelerates toward the woman at 2.0 m/
Artemon [7]

Complete Question

A 75 kg man and a 100. Kg woman are playing tug of war on a frictionless surface. The man accelerates toward the woman at 2.0 m/s2.How much force does she use to pull on the rope

Answer:

The value is  F  =  150 \  N

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The mass of the man is  m_m   =  75 \  kg

     The mass of the woman is  m_f  =  100 \  kg

     The acceleration of the man is  a_m  =  2.0 \  m/s ^2

Generally the force which she used to pull the rope is mathematically represented as  

           F  =  m  *  a

=>         F  =  75 *  2

=>         F  =  150 \  N
