Three identical 6.4kg masses are hung by three identical springs. Each spring has a force constant of 7.8 Kn/m and is 12cm long before any masses are attached to it. how long is the bottom most spring going to be after the three masses are hung on it a. 14.3 b. 16.2 c.12.8 d.10.7

The correct option is;

c. 12.8 cm

Explanation:

The given parameters are;

The length of each spring = 12 m  = 0.12 m

Given that the masses and the springs are vertically oriented, we have;

The mass on the first spring = 3 × 6.4 = 19.2 kg

The weight on the first spring = 19.2 kg × 9.81 m/s² = 188.352 N

The extension of the first spring = 188.352 N/7,800 N/m ≈ 0.02415 m

The mass on the second spring = 2 × 6.4 = 12.8 kg

The weight on the second spring = 12.8 kg × 9.81 m/s² = 125.568 N

The extension of the second spring = 125.568 N/7,800 N/m ≈ 0.016098 m

The mass on the third spring = 1 × 6.4 = 6.4 kg

The weight on the third spring = 6.4 kg × 9.81 m/s² = 62.784 N

The extension of the third (bottom) spring = 62.784 N/7,800 N/m ≈ 0.00805 m

The total length of the bottom spring = Original length of the bottom spring + Extension of the bottom spring

The total length of the bottom spring ≈ 0.12 m + 0.00805 m = 0.12805 m

The total length of the bottom spring ≈ 0.12805 m ≈ 12.81 cm

The bottom spring will be approximately 12.81 cm long.

i dont think you are wrong for wanting to get even with someone who did you wrong.

(i'm an eye for an eye kind of person) but if this person hurt you in a sexual way, i dont suggest doing anything to him. he should be taken to the proper authorities, you could go to jail depending on what you do. if it was something small like your sibling took your spot on the couch, than yea, i would get even with him by taking one of his favorite snacks lol. but i dont suggest you doing anything illegal.
