Concept explainers
When different loads hang on a spring, the spring stretches to different lengths as shown in the following table. (a) Make a graph of the applied force versus the extension of the spring. (b) By least-squares fitting, determine the straight line that best fits the data. (c) To complete part (b), do you want to use all the data points, or should you ignore some of them? Explain. (d) From the slope of the best-fit line, find the spring constant k. (c) If the spring is extended to 105 mm, what force does it exert on the suspended object?

- A force of 40.0 N stretches a spring 20.0 cm. Find the spring constant (in .N/m). Show Working Equation with answer. Answer must be in metric units.arrow_forwardA spring suspended from a ceiling has a constant of 12 Ib/ft. An 8 Ib weight is placed on the spring, and when equilibrium is reached, the weight is raised 5 in. above the equilibrium position and dropped. Solve for the displacement (x) of the weight at any time (t). Type or paste an image of your solutions below:arrow_forwardA uniform chain 24 m long and with mass 26 kg is hanging from the top of a building 24 m high. If a bucket filled with cement of mass 55 kg is attached to the end of the chain, how much work is required to pull the bucket and chain to the top of the building? (Use g = 9.8 N/kg.) (Use decimal notation. Give your answer to one decimal place.) Jarrow_forward
- Problem 1: A) Energy Methods Look at the below system. Using the conservation of energy method, solve for the governing equation of motion for the system. Put a box around your final answer. Also, put a box around your equations for the potential and kinetic energy of the system. Assume the system’s springs are initially unstretched (i.e., assume that there is no gravity until t = 0 [s]). B) Numerical Methods Using ode45, your answer to problem 1, and the following initial conditions and system parameters, plot the response of the above system in MATLAB for at least 5 complete oscillations, and no more than 20 oscillations. m = 72 (if your last 2 digits are 00, than assume m = 1) [kg] k1 = 673 [N/m] k2 = 880 digits of your student ID [N/m] g = 9.81 [m/s2] x0 = 0 [m] v0 = 0 [m/s]arrow_forwardInstructions: 1. Wite the corresponding solutions and units for every part of the GIVEN, REQUIRED, SOLUTIONS and FINAL ANSWER. 2. Please do not shortcut the solutions, do it in a step-by-step way. and use only five (5) decimal places. 3. Box the final answer and use five (5) decimal places if applicable Problem: A spring in the weighing scale compresses in length by 0.14 inches for every 1.0lb, of applied force. Determine the mass of an object, in pound mass, that causes this spring to be compressed by 1.8inches. The local acceleration of gravity is 31 ft/s².arrow_forwardComputation. A spring is stretched 34.5 cm beyond its equilibrium length. How much energy has been transferred to the spring, if the spring constant is 86.8 N/cm? [Note the units!] E = J Record your numerical answer below assuming three significant figures. Remember to include a "-" if/when necessary. Searcharrow_forward
- For this question, you will need to show the work and submit the solution. Sending in only a solution will result in 0 (zero) points for this question. Using the density table provided in the directions or the density table in the unit's overview, find the following, to the nearest thousandth when appropriate. Remember to label units! Workers made a brick wall out of six-hundred fifty 12cm by 12 cm by 30 cm bricks. Find the total weight in kilograms of the wall. brick=2.1g/cm^3arrow_forwardAn object is placed on the end of a vertical spring, with a spring constant of 484.1 N/m. The spring is stretched by 0.09 m. Calculate the mass of object.arrow_forwardI included two pictures. Please show me how to approach the problem in the correct manner based on the feedback given. It is okay to completely change the answer if you need to. Please give a reasoning to why the claim is not reasonable and the work needed to back this up.arrow_forward
- Two identical springs are connected in series as shown, each spring has a spring constant of 98 N/m. What is the spring constant of the overall two-spring system, in N/m? Your answer needs to have 2 significant figures, including the negative sign in your answer if needed. Do not include the positive sign if the answer is positive. No unit is needed in your answer, it is already given in the question statement.arrow_forwardNow, calculate p. Again, -100000 means that we need further information. The parameters: •m = 300 grams • Yo = (equilibrium value) = 74 cm • k = (spring constant) = 0.01 N/cmarrow_forwardThe spring constantContext You do an internship in a mechanical component characterization company for your engineering degree. You are currently working on determining the spring constant of industrial springs. To do this, you measure the elongation of springs placed on a graduated inclined plane, to which you attach masses. Constraints One end of the spring is attached to a hook at the top of the inclined plane and the other end is attached to a mass.The spring is parallel to the plane, and the force it exerts on the mass is also parallel to the plane.The angle of inclination of the plane is known, as well as its uncertainty.There is no friction between the plane and the mass.The natural length of the spring and its uncertainty are known.By hooking a known mass (m ± delta m), you measure that the spring now has a length (L ± delta L).We use the value g=(9.81 ± 0.01)m/s^2 for our calculations.
