In which states of matter can materials take the shape of their containers?

The scalar triple product computes the magnitude m of the moment of a force vector f about a specified line. it is m = (r × f) · n, where r is the position vector from the line to the point of application of the force and n is a unit vector in the direction of the line. use matlab to compute the magnitude m for the case where f = [12, −5, 4] n, r = [−3, 5, 2] m, and n = [6, 5, −7].

Suppose that 27 j of work is needed to stretch a spring from its natural length of 6 m to a length of 9 m. (a) how much work is needed to stretch the spring from 12 m to 14 m? j (b) how far beyond its natural length will a force of 78 n keep the spring stretched?
