A 27.0 cm long spring is hung vertically from a ceiling and stretches to 31.5 cm when a 7.00 kg mass is hung from its free end. (a) Find the spring constant (in N/m).
___ N/m
(b) Find the length of the spring (in cm) if the 7.00 kg weight is replaced with a 205 N weight.
___ cm

A=1526N/m

B =40cm

Explanation:

Step one;

given

initial length=27cm= 0.27m

final length= 31.5cm= 0.315m

mass m= 7kg

Step two:

Required

A.

Force= mg

Force=weight= 7*9.81= 68.67N

extenstion e

e=31.5-27=4.5cm= 0.045m

K= spring constant

we know that F=ke

k=F/e

k=68.67/0.045

k=1526N/m

B.

New weight= 205N

F=ke

e=205/1526

e=0.13m

new length = 0.13+0.27= 0.4m

to cm=0.40*100=40cm

hi there!

your question asks at which segment does freezing occur.

since we're talking about water, the freezing point of water will be 32 degrees fahrenheit or below.

hope this ! ~

i think the answer would be reserve.
