Problems 57–58 use the fact that a physical system is in stable equilibrium if the total energy, E, is a
A mass m hanging on the end of a spring extends its length by y. See Figure 4.55. For g, the acceleration due to gravity, and positive constant k, the total energy is
Is there a length that gives a stable equilibrium position for a constant mass m? If so, what is it?

- This question has several parts that must be completed sequentially. If you skip a part of the question, you will not receive any points for the skipped part, and you will not be able to come back to the skipped part.If a tank holds 4000 gallons of water, which drains from the bottom of the tank in 50 minutes, then Toricelli's Law gives the volume V of water remaining in the tank after t minutes as the following. Therefore, when t = 5, the rate at which the water drains is V'(5)arrow_forward2. The Mickey family wants to travel to Wonderland, which is located 300 km from home.They travelled at a constant speed for 60 km in the first hour.They reached a McDonalds and stayed 30 minutes for lunch.Realizing they are behind schedule, Mickey had to accerlate 40 km in the next 30 minutes to reach the highway.He drove at this constant maximum speed of 100km/h for the next 1.5 hours.After exiting the highway, he had to slow down the car for 50 km during the next 30 minutes to reach the park.They spent 4 hours at the park for some fun.It is time to go home, and Mickey drove at a steady speed for 3 hours.Illustrate a distance vs. time graph to represent the scenario.arrow_forwardQuestion: Suppose, the scientists working in the north pole want to grow vegetables to meet their own demand. The room (greenhouse) temperature must be maintained between 15 and X degree Celsius, otherwise the plants will stop growing because of unsuitable air pressure and unavailability of enough sunlight. They requested you to design a room heater to maintain the required temperature in the greenhouse. The heater will start working when the temperature tends to fall below 15 degree Celsius. In addition, when the temperature reaches X degree Celsius the heater will stop working. The mathematical model of the heater is given below. 0. 39 G(s) : s +1.5 Requirements: 1. Develop and simulate a suitable model which is capable of fulfilling the requirement. 2. Compare your proposed system with the state of the art technology of the same ground. 3.
