(a)
Here is the graph of load vs sag ( in m )
-----------------------------------------------------------
(b) i think third measurement is wrong ( 6.6 cm for load 3200) which gives a spring constant of around 485 N/m while other readings give 500 N,
It's value should be
x = 3200 / 500
x = 6.4 cm
----------------------------------------------
(c) Let's take k = 5e4 N/m (remember, the graph plotted above also gives k value as slope - i am using 5e4 because that's what I get from readings in table)
then
x = 4500 / 5e4
x = 0.09 m
or
x = 9 cm
---------------------------------
(d)
F = kx
F = 5e4 * 52e-3
F = 2600 N

(e)
A longer beam will sag more for the same applied load.
6. An engineer needs to know how far a long steel beam will shows some results:...
answer 1 b) there is u lovu 4. In a spring experiment, the results were: Load (N) 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 Length (mm) 50 58 70 74 82 90 102 125 Extension (mm) a) What is the length of the spring when unstretched? b) Copy and complete the table. c) Plot a graph of extension : load. d) One of the results is wrong. Which is it? What do you think it should be? e) Mark...
