The left end of a spring is attached to a wall. When Bob pulls on the right end with a 200N force, he stretches the spring by 20 cm. The same spring is then used for a tug of war between Bob and Carlos. Each pulls on his end of the spring with a 200N force. How far does the spring stretch. Explain

Tests performed on a 16.0 em strip of the donated aorta reveal that it stretches 3.75 cm when a 1.50 N pull is exerted on it. (a) What is the force constant of this strip of aortal material? (b) If the maximum distance it will be able to stretch when it replaces the aorta in the damaged heart is 1.14 cm, what is the greatest force it will be able to exert there?arrow_forward
- si 9. A 1.65 kg box rests on a plank that is inclined at an angle of 68.0° above the horizontal. The upper end of the box is attached to a spring with a force constant of 18.0 N/m, as shown in the figure. If the coefficient of static friction between the box and the plank is 0.28, what is the maximum amount the spring can be stretched and the box remain at rest? m f60 ssf60 ssico ss$60 ssf60** ssf60 ssf60 ssf60 ssf60 ssfossf60 ssf bood ssf60 ssf60 ss ] …………¶¶¶õõ‰¶¶¶¯¯¯ ¶ 50 ssf60 s f60 ssf60 ssf60 ss£60 SS sf60160 ssf60 ssf60 ssf60ain f60 sf60 ssf60 ssf60 ssf60 ƒ60 ssf60 ssf60 ssfarrow_forwardYou are participating in a basketball game and as you turn to recieve a ball, a 4 cm long section of your medical collateral ligament stretches to 4.09 cm as a result of a 1150 N tensile force. (100 cm = 1 m; 1 m^2 = 1,000,000 nm^2), (1 m^2 = 1,000,000^2 or 18 mm^2 = 0.000018 m^2). a) how much strain does the ligament withstand? b) how much strain potential energy does the ligament possess in this position if the stiffness value (k) is 9,000 N/m? c) if the ligament has a cross section of 18 mm^2, how much stress does the ligament withstand?
