Fish are hung on a spring scale to determine their mass (most fishermen feel no obligation to report the mass truthfully).
(a)
What is the force constant (in N/m) of the spring in such a scale if it stretches 8.30 cm for a 12.5 kg load?
N/m
(b)
What is the mass (in kg) of a fish that stretches the spring 5.50 cm?
kg
(c)
How far apart (in mm) are the half-kilogram marks on the scale?
mm
Part A.
Using Force balance on fish:
Force due to spring = Force due to gravity
Fs = Fg
k*x = m*g
k = m*g/x
Given that x = stretch in spring = 8.30 cm = 0.083 m
m = mass of spring = 12.5 kg
So,
k = 12.5*9.81/0.083
k = spring constant = 1477.41 N/m = 1.48*10^3 N/m
Part B.
for same spring when stretch is 5.50 cm
x = 0.055 m
then
m = k*x/g
m = 1477.41*0.055/9.81
m = 8.28 kg = mass of fish
Part C.
Half-kilogram marks on the scale will be apart by:
x = m*g/k
x = 0.5*9.81/1477.41
x = 3.32*10^-3 m = 3.32 mm
