Hooke's law states that the force (F, in newtons) applied to a spring is equal to the stiffness of the spring (k, in newtons per meter) times the displacement {x, in meters): F= kx. ;Chapter 10, Problem 161CA, Refer to the Worksheet shown, set up to calculate the displacement of a spring. Hooke's law states Cell A3 contains a data validation list of springs. The stiffness (cell 83) and maximum displacement (cell C3) values are found using a VLOOKUP function linked to the table shown at the right side of the worksheet. These data are then used to determine the displacement of the spring at various mass values. A warning is issued if the displacement determined is greater than the maximum displacement for the spring. Use this information to determine the answers to the following questions. Write the expression, in Excel notation, that you would type into cell 86 to determine the displacement of the spring.…arrow_forwardNanotechnology, the field of building ultrasmall structures one atom at a time, has progressed in recent years. One potential application of nanotechnology is the construction of artificial cells. The simplest cells would probably mimic red blood cells, the body’s oxygen transporters. Nanocontainers, perhaps constructed of carbon, could be pumped full of oxygen and injected into a person’s bloodstream. If the person needed additional oxygen—due to a heart attack or for the purpose of space travel, for example—these containers could slowly release oxygen into the blood, allowing tissues that would otherwise die to remain alive. Suppose that the nanocontainers were cubic and had an edge length of 25 nanometers. What is the volume of one nanocontainer? (Ignore the thickness of the nanocontainer’s wall.)arrow_forward

- Answer the following questions based on scaling arguments, i.e., by applying “the variable X must be proportional to the Zth power of variable Y because of some relevant physical principle”-type reasoning. A. In a surface passivation process for Si wafers, the required processing time to create a 0.1 micron thick SiO2 layer on a pure Si wafer was 2 hours. Estimate the process time required to create an SiO2 layer of thickness 0.15 microns on a pure Si wafer under identical processing conditions. B.

How much longer would it take for the liquid layer to evaporate completely?arrow_forwardDevelop a mathematical model of the performance of a plastic bonding process given the process data shown in the table below for the situation where the time indicated is related to the time that the plastic sample is clamped after the binder is applied.
