Question
The drawing shows a hydraulic chamber with a spring (spring constant = 1150 N/m) attached to the input piston and a rock of mass 44.0 kg resting on the output plunger. The piston and plunger are nearly at the same height, and each has a negligible mass. By how much is the spring compressed from its unstrained position?

A light spring of constant k = 90.0 N/m is attached vertically to a table. A balloon (with empty mass 2.50 g) is filled with a mixture of helium (density = 0.179 kg/m³) and air (density = 1.29 kg/m³) to a volume of 4.00 m³ and is then connected to the spring, causing the spring to stretch. If the spring stretches by 1.0 cm, find the required density of the gas mixture, and find how much helium and air you need to produce that mixture.arrow_forward
