Answer:
a)W=8.333lbf.ft
b)W=0.0107 Btu.
Explanation:
<u>Complete question</u>
The force F required to compress a spring a distance x is given by F– F0 = kx where k is the spring constant and F0 is the preload. Determine the work required to compress a spring whose spring constant is k= 200 lbf/in a distance of one inch starting from its free length where F0 = 0 lbf. Express your answer in both lbf-ft and Btu.
Solution
Preload = F₀=0 lbf
Spring constant k= 200 lbf/in
Initial length of spring x₁=0
Final length of spring x₂= 1 in
At any point, the force during deflection of a spring is given by;
F= F₀× kx where F₀ initial force, k is spring constant and x is the deflection from original point of the spring.
Change to lbf.ft by dividing the value by 12 because 1ft=12 in
100/12 = 8.333 lbf.ft
work required to compress the spring, W=8.333lbf.ft
The work required to compress the spring in Btu will be;
1 Btu= 778 lbf.ft
?= 8.333 lbf.ft----------------cross multiply
(8.333*1)/ 778 =0.0107 Btu.
Answer:
B. Solar energy
Explanation:
The water cycle is driven primarily by the energy from the sun. This solar energy drives the cycle by evaporating water from the oceans, lakes, rivers, and even the soil. Other water moves from plants to the atmosphere through the process of transpiration.
Answer:
<em>The athlete will rise 1.10 meters off the ground</em>
Explanation:
<u>Vertical Motion</u>
If an object is launched vertically upwards at an initial speed vo, then it will reach a maximum height given by
The athlete can exert a net force upwards equal to twice his weight. It makes him accelerate upwards at
The speed at the end of his push can be computed by
Replacing the value of a obtained above:
where y is the length of this crouch
This is the initial speed of this vertical launch, thus
As per the question the distance travelled by a car is 28.4 inch.
we are asked to determine the conversion factor in centimeter which when multiplied with 28.4 inch will give a unit.
we know that one inch =2.54 centimeter.
Hence 28.4 inch = 2.54 ×28.4 cm
=72.136 cm.
Now we have to determine the conversion factor .The multiplication factor is calculated as 
[p is the multiplication factor.]
Hence the multiplication factor is 72.137 cm which will give unit conversion when multiplied with 28.4 inch.
