BIO Heart Repair. A surgeon is using material from a donated heart to repair a patient’s damaged aorta and needs to know the elastic characteristics of this aortal material. Tests performed on a 16.0-cm strip of the donated aorta reveal that it stretches 3.75 cm when a 1.50-N pull is exerted on it. (a) What is the force constant of this strip of aortal material? (b) If the maximum distance it will be able to stretch when it replaces the aorta in the damaged heart is 1.14 cm, what is the greatest force it will be able to exert there?

- A spring scale hung from the ceiling stretches by 6.4 cm when a 1.0 kg mass is hung from it. The 1.0 kg mass is removed and replaced with a 1.5 kg mass. What is the stretch of the spring?arrow_forwardProblem 4: The spring has a spring constant 627 N/m. The box of mass 4.4 kg is released from rest at the top of the ramp as shown. The initial height is 1.9 m, and the angle is 18 degrees. Assume the surfaces are frictionless. Part (a) What is the maximum distance that the spring is compressed in m (when the box comes to a rest)?

If a 110 lb. girl produces a downward force of 250 lbs at the bottom of her jump(when the springs are stretched the most) causing the springs to angle down at 5°, then whatis the average force in each spring? Assume that she lands in the center of the mat and that50 separate but equal forces act to support the girl’s peak impact force.arrow_forward
- To measure the static friction coefficient between a 1.40-kg block and a vertical wall, a spring (k = 770 N/m) is attached to the block, is pushed on the end in a direction perpendicular to the wall until the block does not slip downward (see figure). If the spring is compressed by 0.048 m, what is the coefficient of static friction?arrow_forwardA gymnast of mass 52.0 kg is jumping on a trampoline. She jumps so that her feet reach maximum height of 2.49 m above the trampoline and, when she lands, her feet stretch the trampoline 68.0 cm down. How far does the trampoline stretch when she stands on it at rest? Assume that the trampoline is described by Hooke's law when it is stretched. Give your answer in cm.arrow_forward1) A daredevil plans to bungee jump from a balloon 73.0 m above a carnival midway. They will use a uniform elastic cord tied to a harness around their body, to stop their fall at a point 10.0 m above the ground. Model their body as a particle and the cord as having negligible mass and obeying Hooke's law. In a preliminary test, hanging at rest from a 5.00 m length of the cord, they find that their body weight stretches it by 1.35 m. They will drop from rest at the point where the top end of a longer section of the cord is attached to the stationary balloon. Hint: To find the K of the actual cord, use the following proportion with the preliminary test cord (KTest *LTest=KActual*Lactual) where L is the length of the cord.arrow_forward
- To measure the static friction coefficient between a 4.96-kg block and a vertical wall, the setup shown in the drawing is used. A spring (spring constant = 491 N/m) is attached to the block. Someone pushes on the end of the spring in a direction perpendicular to the wall until the block does not slip downward. If the spring in such a setup is compressed by 0.0579 m, what is the coefficient of static friction? Number i Units marrow_forwardYour doctor has told you to watch your weight. Of course, your weight comprises two factors, so you assume that she wants you to watch both your mass and the local value of g. Which explains why you are carrying a small mass mm on an elastic band wherever you go. Most of the time, the elastic band is stretched by a distance of 2.1 cm. However, when you have finished lunch, you go into a very tall building and take the high speed lift (or elevator depending on where you live). Soon after the doors close, you notice that the band (which has linear elastic properties) is stretched by a total distance of 3.5 cm. a) At what rate is the lift accelerating? _____ m.s−2 b) Your doctor will want to know the factor by which your weight has increased after that lunch. Suppose that you stand on scales in the lift while it is accelerating as described above. According to the scales, your weight has increased by a factor of _____ My answers are a)6.6 and b)1.67 but they're wrong.arrow_forward**88. ssm The drawing shows two crates that are connected by a steel wire that passes over a pulley. The unstretched length of the wire is 1.5 m, and its cross-sectional area is 1.3 x 10-5 m². The pulley is frictionless and massless. When the crates are acceler- ating, determine the change in length of the wire. Ignore the mass of the wire. 3.0 kg 5.0 kg Problem 88arrow_forward
- The nuchal ligament in a horse supports the weight of the horse’s head. This ligament is much more elastic than a typical ligament, stretching from 15% to 45% longer than its resting length as a horse’s head moves up and down while it runs. This stretch of the ligament stores energy, making locomotion more efficient. Measurements on a segment of ligament show a linear stress-versusstrain relationship until the stress approaches 0.80. Smoothed data for the stretch are shown. The segment of ligament tested has a resting length of 40 mm. How long is the ligament at a strain of 0.60?A. 46 mmB. 52 mmC. 58 mmD. 64 mmarrow_forwardThe nuchal ligament in a horse supports the weight of the horse’s head.
