- Correct answer please. I will upvote.arrow_forwardDefine operational amplifierarrow_forwardA bungee jumper plans to bungee jump from a bridge 64.0 m above the ground. He plans to use a uniform elastic cord, tied to a harness around his body, to stop his fall at a point 6.00 m above the water. Model his body as a particle and the cord as having negligible mass and obeying Hooke's law. In a preliminary test he finds that when hanging at rest from a 5.00 m length of the cord, his body weight stretches it by 1.55 m. He will drop from rest at the point where the top end of a longer section of the cord is attached to the bridge. (a) What length of cord should he use? Use subscripts 1 and 2 respectively to represent the 5.00 m test length and the actual jump length. Use Hooke's law F = KAL and the fact that the change in length AL for a given force is proportional the length L (AL = CL), to determine the force constant for the test case and for the jump case. Use conservation of mechanical energy to determine the length of the rope. m (b) What maximum acceleration will he…arrow_forward

- Truck suspensions often have "helper springs" that engage at high loads. One such arrangement is a leaf spring with a helper coil spring mounted on the axle, as shown in the figure below. When the main leaf spring is compressed by distance yo, the helper spring engages and then helps to support any additional load. Suppose the leaf spring constant is 5.05 × 105 N/m, the helper spring constant is 3.50 × 105 N/m, and y = 0.500 m. Truck body yo Main leaf spring -"Helper" spring Axle (a) What is the compression of the leaf spring for a load of 6.00 × 105 N? Your response differs from the correct answer by more than 10%. Double check your calculations. m (b) How much work is done in compressing the springs? ☑ Your response differs significantly from the correct answer. Rework your solution from the beginning and check each step carefully. Jarrow_forwardA spring is attached to an inclined plane as shown in the figure. A block of mass m = 2.71 kg is placed on the incline at a distance d = 0.285 m along the incline from the end of the spring. The block is given a quick shove and moves down the incline with an initial speed v = 0.750 m/s. The incline angle is = 20.0°, the spring constant is k = 505 N/m, and we can assume the surface is frictionless.
