Hey There!

_____________________________________

Answer:


\huge\boxed{\textbf{F = 7.5N}}

_____________________________________


\Huge\textbf{Hooke's Law}


\Large\textbf{Statement:}

"The restoring force is directly proportional to the displacement from the equilibrium position under elastic limits"


\Large\textbf{Mathematical Expression}

Consider a block on a horizontal, frictionless surface is connected to a spring. If the spring is either stretched or compressed a small distance x from its mean position, it exerts on a block a force:


\Rightarrow K \propto -\ x \\\Rightarrow K = -\ kx\\\Rightarrow\boxed{K = -kx}

K is positive constant called the force\spring constant of the spring. Negative sign indicates that F and x always have opposite directions with reference x-axis as the direction of force is always towards mean position.


\Large\textbf{For K:}

Using the magnitude of force, in hooke's law,


\rightarrow{F = Kx}\\\\\rightarrow\boxed{K=(F)/(x)}


\Large\textbf{Unit:}

The units of K are given as,


\rightarrow{(N)/(m)}\\\\\rightarrow(D)/(cm) \\\\\rightarrow(lb)/(ft)


\Large\textbf{Dimension:}

The dimension of K is,


\rightarrow\boxed{MT^(-2)}

\huge\textbf{Question:}

DATA:

Force = F = 2.5N

Displacement = x = 4.0cm

Spring constant = k = ?

Final displacement = x = 12 cm

Load = F = ?

SOLUTION:

F = -kx

substitute the variable,

2.5 = k x 4

Rearrange the equation,

k =
(2.5)/(4)


\boxed{k = 0.625}

Use the spring constant with the extension 12cm to find the load,

F = kx

F = (0.625) x (12)


\boxed{F = 7.5N}

Answer:

stress/strain

F/A / E/L

Step-by-step explanation:

2.5/A ×4/12

4A=30

A=30/4

A=7.5
