Use the datum shown for zero gravitational potential energy. For the values given below answer the following questions:Position 1 is Ha1 μk=0.14 k=32.5 Nm hA1=0.6 m mA=4.6 kg mB=1.3 kg What is the Gravitational Potential Energy for mass mA at position 1 (remember your signs)? What is the Gravitational Potential at position 1 for mB? What is the Potential Energy of the spring at position 1? What is the Kinetic Energy at position 1 for mA? What is the Kinetic Energy at position 1 for mB? Again we have the figure shown below that was released from rest with the spring unstretched. Use the datum shown for zero gravitational potential energy. At position 2 the spring is at its max stretch. Remember we have the values below; answer the following questions: μk=0.14 k=32.5 Nm hA1=0.6 m mA=4.6 kg mB=1.3 kg What is the max stretch in the spring?arrow_forward

An experiment has a data set that fits the function T = a x³ + 4 where T is the temperature, t is time in seconds and a is a constant to be determined. Using the least square method, derive an expression for 'a' that minimizes the error for the data set. Hint: Start with S = Σ(T; - a x₁³ — 4)² = 0 and take the partial derivative of S with respect to a.arrow_forward

The total mass of the balloon skin and the instruments it carries is 3.7 kg. At a certain altitude the density of air is 1.0 kg/m3 and is 10 times the density of hydrogen in the balloon; the viscosity of air is 1.8x10-5 Ns/m3. Determine the steady upward velocity of the balloon. m/s Drag coefficlent Caarrow_forwardSomewhere DEEP BELOW THE EARTH's surface, at an UNKNOWN displacement from the Earth's center, a particle of mass m is dangled from a long string, length L; the particle oscillates along a small arc according to the differential equation d^2x/dt^2=-(pi^2/36)x. Here x refers to an angular displacement measured from the vertical and t refers to time. The particle's mass is given by m=3kg. The length of the string is given by L=5 meters. Whenever the particle arrives at a location of x=(pi/12) radians from the vertical, the particle has no instantaneous speed. On both sides of the vertical, that is, x=(pi/12) radians is repeatedly observed to be a 'turning point' for the particle's periodic motion. 1. Draw a clear FREE-BODY diagram of this particle at some arbitrary point during oscillation, making sure to label variables and constants described above. 2. Approximating to three significant digits if necessary, what is the angular frequency of this oscillator on a string? 3. Approximating…arrow_forwardI need the answer as soon as possiblearrow_forward
