- What is the magnitude of the force required to stretch a spring that has a constant of 425 N / m and 215 N / m by 7 cm if they are in parallel?arrow_forwardYou are a member of an alpine rescue team and must get a box of supplies, with mass 3.00 kg , up an incline of constant slope angle 30.0° so that it reaches a stranded skier who is a vertical distance 2.90 m above the bottom of the incline. There is some friction present; the kinetic coefficient of friction is 6.00x10-2. Since you can't walk up the incline, you give the box a push that gives it an initial velocity; then the box slides up the incline, slowing down under the forces of friction and gravity. Take acceleration due to gravity to be 9.81 m/s?. Use the work-eneray theorem to calculate the minimum speed v that you must give the box at the bottom of the incline so that it will reach the skier.arrow_forwardA student wants to determine the coefficients of static friction and kinetic friction between a box and a plank by gradually raising one end of the plank.
