Auniform 1.4-kg rod that is 0.75 m long is suspended at rest from the ceiling by two springs, one at each end of the rod. both springs hang straight down from the ceiling. the springs have identical lengths when they are unstretched. their spring constants are 59 n/m and 33 n/m. find the angle that the rod makes with the horizontal.

7 deg

Explanation:

= mass of the rod =

= weight of the rod =

= spring constant for left spring =

= spring constant for right spring =

= stretch in the left spring

= stretch in the right spring

= length of the rod = 0.75 m

= Angle the rod makes with the horizontal

Using equilibrium of force in vertical direction for left spring

Using equilibrium of force in vertical direction for right spring

Angle made with the horizontal is given as

the design of a ski jumping suit involves a trade-off between giving the skiers lift to get higher jumps and ensuring the skier does not face a lot of drag before the jump itself. an expansive suit may to lift the skier higher, but at the same time, it will also increase the air resistance. higher air resistance as the skier goes down the slope limits the speed of the jump. a big suit also increases the risk of losing balance or control, especially if there's a strong gust of wind. while technologically enhanced suits a lot, clothing is not the only factor in a ski jumper’s success. gathering speed while skiing down the slope, ensuring good speed on the ramp, and maintaining good body posture and form in the air all contribute to a ski jumper's success.
