It is weigh-in time for the local under-85-kg rugby team. The bathroom scale used to assess eligibility can be described by Hooke’s law and is depressed 0.75 cm by its maximum load of 120 kg. (a) What is the spring’s effective spring constant? (b) A player stands on the scales and depresses it by 0.48 cm. Is he

Now that the first three steps have been explained, identify the next three steps, in order. calculate the magnitude of r sum vector components calculate a and b magnitudes calculate the direction of r, calculate x,y components step 4 step 5 step 6

Acatapult is tested by roman legionnaires. they tabulate the results in a papyrus and 2000 years later the archaeological team reads (distances translated into modern units): range = 0.4 km; angle of launch = π/5 rad; landing height = launch height. what is the initial velocity of launch of the boulders if air resistance is negligible?

Consider an ordinary, helium-filled party balloon with a volume of 2.2 ft3. the lifting force on the balloon due to the outside air is the net resultant of the pressure distribution exerted on the exterior surface of the balloon. using this fact, we can derive archimedes’ principle, namely that the upward force on the balloon is equal to the weight of the air displaced by the balloon. assuming that the balloon is at sea level, where the air density is 0.002377 slug/ft3, calculate the maximum weight that can be lifted by the balloon. note: the molecular weight of air is 28.8 and that of helium is 4.
