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.

Use the drop-down menus to complete the statement about Earth’s magnetism.
Nataly [62]

Answer:

The Earth's magnetism is generated in the core, which is composed of iron that is constantly churning

Explanation:

Magnetic fields are produced by charges in motion, therefore by currents.

The outer core of the Earth consists mainly of melted iron that is in constant motion. This iron in motion actually acts as a giant current, and therefore it is responsible for the creation of the Earth's magnetic field.

The magnetic field of the Earth is very weak, in fact its magnitude is on average between 25 and 65 microtesla (for comparison, normal magnets can even produce magnetic fields of a few millitesla).

However, its role is very important for the Earth: in fact, it provides a shield that blocks most of the harmful radiation coming from the Sun.

How would the seasons be different if Earth were not tilted on its Axis?
Alja [10]

Answer:

no seasons

Explanation:

if the earth weren't tilted, it would rotate like that as it revolved around the sun, and we wouldn't have seasons—only areas that were colder (near the poles) and warmer (near the Equator).

The thickness of a flange on an aircraft component is uniformly distributed between 0.95 and 1.05 millimeters. (a) Determine the
Igoryamba

Answer:

The proportion of flanges that exceeds 0.99 millimeters is 0.6

Explanation:

Given;

integral range of [0.95,  1.05]

Let X be a variable with uniform distribution over the given range.

Then, f(x) = \frac{1}{1.05 -0.95} =10

1 - 0.95 = 0.05, 1.05 - 1 = 0.05

\ minimum, f_(x) = \frac{0.05}{1.05 -0.95} =0.5\\\\

interval = 10 - 0.5 = 9.5

F(x) = 10x + 9.5

When, X exceeds 0.99 millimeters, then the proportion of flanges will be;

P (X > x) = 1 - F(x)

P( X > 0.99 ) = 1 - 10(0.99) + 9.5

P( X > 0.99 ) = 0.6

Therefore, the proportion of flanges that exceeds 0.99 millimeters is 0.6

Restaurant owners agree to comply with state, but not federal, health
Charra [1.4K]

Answer:

False.

Explanation:

A public health license can be defined as series of privileges and authority granted to a practitioner in the public domain, to offer services to the general public after admitting to comply with the standards, rules and regulations set aside by health regulatory agencies and the government (both state and federal).

This ultimately implies that, all restaurant owners must have met the minimum requirements (criteria) and agree to comply with all the standards, rules and regulations with respect to public health before they are endorsed and then given a license to practice or operate by the appropriate agency or authorities.

Hence, restaurant owners agree to comply with state, federal, and health regulations when applying for a public health license.
