- Hooke’s Law In Exercises 65-68, use Hooke’s Law, which states that the distance a spring stretches (or compresses) from its natural, or equilibrium, length varies directly as the applied force on the spring. The coiled spring of a toy supports the weight of a child. The weight of a 25-pound child compresses the spring a distance of 1.9 inches. The toy does not work properly when a weight compresses the spring more than 3 inches. What is the maximum weight for which the toy works properly?arrow_forwardHooke’s Law In Exercises 65-68, use Hooke’s Law, which states that the distance a spring stretches (or compresses) from its natural, or equilibrium, length varies directly as the applied force on the spring. A force of 265 newtons stretches a spring 0.15 meter. (a) What force stretches the spring 0.1 meter? (b) How far does a force of 90 newtons stretch the spring?arrow_forwardHooke’s Law In Exercises 65-68, use Hooke’s Law, which states that the distance a spring stretches (or compresses) from its natural, or equilibrium, length varies directly as the applied force on the spring. A force of 220 newtons stretches a spring 0.12 meter. What force stretches the spring 0.16 meter?arrow_forward
- Distance a Bullet Travels A bullet is tired into the air at an angle of 45. How far does it travel before it is 1,000 feet above the ground? (Assume that the bullet travels in a straight line; neglect the forces of gravity, and give your answer to the nearest foot.)arrow_forwardLean Body Weight in Females This is a continuation of Exercise 24. The text cited in Exercise 24 gives a more complex method of calculating lean body weight for young adult females: L=19.81+0.73W+21.2R-0.88A-1.39H+2.43F Here L is the lean body weight in pounds, W is the weight in pounds, R is wrist diameter, A is the abdominal circumference in inches, H is hip circumference if inches, and F is forearm circumference in inches. According to this formula, what is the approximate lean body weight of a young adult female who weighs 132 pounds and has wrist diameter of 2 inches, abdominal circumference of 27 inches, hip circumference of 37 inches and forearm circumference of 7 inches? What is the weight of her body fat? What is her body fat percent? Lean Body Weight in Males A persons lean body weight L is the amount that he or she would weigh if all body fat were marginally to disappear. One text gives the equation that practitioners can use most feasibly in the field to predict lean body weight in young males. The equation is L=98.42+1.08W-4.14A Here L is the lean body weight in pounds, W is the weight in pounds and A is the abdominal circumference in inches. Find the approximate lean body weight of a young adult male who weighs 188 pounds and has an abdominal circumference of 35 inches. What is the weight of his body fat? What is his body fat percent?arrow_forward
