- An engineering student is deciding on a vertical spring to employ as a safety feature in the elevator's base. There are two sets of springs; in order to choose which spring to utilize, the engineer sets the first spring and enables the elevator to fall from the ninth floor. He fastens the second spring and allows the elevator to fall from the fifth floor once again. The engineer chooses to use the first spring. However, this is not the best experiment to use. Now, create an experiment by applying physics concepts that will help the engineering students in making a more educated conclusion on which elevator spring would lessen the impact of falling.arrow_forwardRefer to the Worksheet shown, set up to calculate the displacement of a spring. Hooke's law states that the force (F, in newtons) applied to a spring is equal to the stiffness of the spring (k, in newtons per meter) times the displacement {x, in meters): F= kx. ;Chapter 10, Problem 161CA, Refer to the Worksheet shown, set up to calculate the displacement of a spring. Hooke's law states Cell A3 contains a data validation list of springs. The stiffness (cell 83) and maximum displacement (cell C3) values are found using a VLOOKUP function linked to the table shown at the right side of the worksheet. These data are then used to determine the displacement of the spring at various mass values. A warning is issued if the displacement determined is greater than the maximum displacement for the spring. Use this information to determine the answers to the following questions. Write the expression, in Excel notation, that you would type into cell 86 to determine the displacement of the spring.…arrow_forwardAn electrical circuit includes a voltage source and two resistances (50 and 75 ohm) in parallel.

The reason why the equations of equilibrium could be used here is because the values of 0 and o are not arbitrary. In fact, the geometry of the system is based on the equations of equilibrium and a relationship between 0 and o can be determined using them. Part D - Finding the relationship between \theta and \phi Figure Find the relationship between angles e and o using the equations of equilibrium and solve for 0. Suppose that the angles are expressed in radians. Express your equation for 0 in terms of ø. Express your answer in radians. • View Available Hint(s) Vol AEo t vec В A C Submitarrow_forward
