The distance a spring stretches from its “free length” is a function of how much tension is applied to it. The following table gives the spring length y that was produced in a particular spring by the given applied force f. The spring’s free length is 4.7 in. Find a functional relation between f and x, the extension from the free length (y = y − 4.7).

- 1. Circle weather the following statements are true or false. If the statement is true justify your reasoning if the statement is false correct the statement to make it true or justify why it is false a. Impulse is the integral of a force vs distance graph b. In two dimensions analyzing linear and angular momentum provides up to three scalar equations. c. Linear acceleration and angular acceleration both have units of ft/s^2 or m/s^2 d. When absolute motion or a rigid body it is important to find a function that relates linear and angular position then integrate to find velocity e. Instantaneous centers can only be determined for velocity and only for a snapshot in timearrow_forward1.A body hangs from a spring balance supported from the roof of an elevator.

The volume of an Emperor penguin can be modeled as a cylinder with a diameter of 0.25 meters [m] and a height of 1.1 meters [m]. The specific gravity of sea water is 1.027. Find the total pressure acting on the penguin at the maximum depth in units of atmospheres [atm].arrow_forwardYou are abducted by aliens and find yourself locked in a large room on some strange planet. To pass the time, you decide to do some experiments using a ball-and-chain that you find on the floor. You make the following estimates: m(BALL) = 7 kg , m(CHAIN) = 0.5 kg , and l(CHAIN) = 2 m . (a) When you hold the free end of the chain above your head and allow the ball to swing like a pendulum, you use your wristwatch to measure the period as T = 4 s . What is the acceleration due to gravity on this planet?(b) If the ball accidentally hits a wall, how long does it take for this jolt in the chain to travel up to your hand?arrow_forwardThe following are the given information of the test specimen material: Specimen Material Specimen Width (mm) Specimen Thickness (mm) Specimen Initial Length (mm) Specimen Final Length (mm) aluminium 1.5 13.5 42.4 47.5 Grip Separation 50 mm Total Elongation of the specimen is given by Elongation = i-io/io x 100 l : Final length, in m l0 : Initial length, in marrow_forward

- A physics lab Consist of a large bowl attached to wire. Students hold onto one of the wire the whirl the ball around in circles and count the number of rotations per second. One group finds these numbers: ball mass=320g, wire length=1.3m, number of rotations/second=2.5. The wire is made of steel with a diameter of 1mm and a Young’s modulus of 20x10^10 N/m^2.
