The drawing shows three identical springs hanging from the ceiling. nothing is attached to the first spring, whereas a 4.5 n block hangs from the second spring. a block of unknown weight hangs from the third spring. from the drawing, determine

<Continuation of the question>

(a) the spring constant (in N/m) and

(b) the weight of the block hanging from the third spring.

the distance for the first spring is 20cm, the second 35cm, the third 50cm.

a) To find the spring constant, we'll use the formula

F=kx, if we make k the subject we'll get

k=F/x, where F=4.5N, x = 35cm - 20cm = 15cm = 0.15m

k=F/x = 4.5N/0.15m =  30N/m is the Answer

b) to find the weight of block hanging on third spring

we use the formula F=kx

where k = 30N/m, x=50cm-20cm=30cm=0.30m

F=kx = (30N/m)*(0.30m) = 9N  is the Answer

the simple machine has three main features. they are:

fulcrum is the center point or pivot point of the machine. effort is input force/ applied force. load is external force/ output.

the keisha 's machine labels are

x : load

y: fulcrum

z: lever
