The spring constant is 200 N/m. This is found by using Hooke's Law, which states that the force exerted by a spring is directly proportional to its extension, with the constant of proportionality being the spring constant.
The spring constant is calculated by dividing the weight of the object (29 N) by the distance it stretches the spring (11 cm). First, convert 11 cm to meters by dividing by 100 (0.11 m), then divide the weight by the stretch distance to get the spring constant: 29 N / 0.11 m = 263.6 N/m.
A spring that pushes the object attached to its ends is known as a compression spring. When the ends of the spring are compressed or pushed together, it exerts a force in the opposite direction, pushing the object away from it.
2181 N/m
The change in the spring scale reading is caused by the force applied to the spring. When an external force is applied to an object attached to the spring scale, the spring compresses or stretches, leading to a change in the scale reading which reflects the magnitude of that force.
The value of the spring constant ''k'' in a spring-mass system would remain constant regardless of the mass of the trapped gas, as it only depends on the stiffness of the spring and not on the mass attached to it.
The time period of a simple harmonic oscillator is inversely proportional to the square root of the spring constant. This means that as the spring constant increases, the time period decreases. Mathematically, the equation for the time period of a simple harmonic oscillator is T = 2π√(m/k), where T is the time period, m is the mass attached to the spring, and k is the spring constant.
To predict how many centimeters the spring will stretch, we need to know the spring constant in N/cm and apply Hooke's Law. Hooke's Law states that the force exerted by a spring is directly proportional to its extension. By knowing the spring constant and the total mass attached, we can calculate the stretch.
A beam balance uses a lever and a fixed point to compare weights, while a spring balance measures weight by the amount a spring stretches or compresses. A beam balance is typically used for larger weights and is more accurate, while a spring balance is compact and portable, suitable for lighter weights.
To determine the mass required for the spring-mass system to oscillate with a period of 1.06 s, you can use the equation T = 2π√(m/k) where T is the period, m is the mass, and k is the spring constant. In this case, you can calculate the spring constant k using Hooke's Law: F = kx, where F is the force (40.1 N) and x is the distance the spring is stretched (0.251 m). Then, substitute the values into the period equation to solve for the mass m.
The force that stretches a spring is called tension force. This force appears when the spring is being pulled or stretched in one direction.
