A heavy-duty shock absorber is compressed 4 cm from its equilibrium position by a mass of 700nbspkg. how much work is required to compress the shock absorber 4 cm from its equilibrium position? (a mass of 700 kg exerts a force (in newtons) of 700g, where galmost equals9.8 m divided by s squared.)set up the integral that should be used to find the work required to compress the shock absorber 4 cm from its equilibrium position. use decreasing limits of integration. express all displacements in meters.

Explanation:

A mass of 700 kg will exert a force of

700 x 9.8

= 6860 N.

Amount of compression x = 4 cm

= 4 x 10⁻² m

Force constant K = force of compression / compression

= 6860 / 4 x 10⁻²

= 1715 x 10² Nm⁻¹.

Let us take compression of r at any moment

Restoring force by spring

= k r

Force required to compress = kr

Let it is compressed  by small length dr during which force will remain constant.

Work done

dW =  Force x displacement

= -kr -dr

= kr dr

Work done to compress by length d

for it r ranges from 0 to -d

Integrating on both sides

W  =

= [ kr²/2]₀^-4

= 1/2 kX16X10⁻⁴

= .5 x 1715 x 10² x 16 x 10⁻⁴

= 137.20 J

myth. it was once thought that animals, including cats and dogs, could only see in black and white. however, scientists have proven this to be a myth. in all animals, including humans, the perception of colour is determined by the presence of cells in the eye called cone photoreceptors.

the journeys of marquette, joliet and la salle a) new france expand.

all three of these explorers explored the midwest and the area around the great lakes, which they subsequently claimed for france.

this was a big portion of territory and expanded new france which before then only consisted of quebec province in northeastern canada
