A student measures the spring constant k of a spring by loading it and measuring the extension. (According to Hooke's law, if l is the load and e is the extension, then k = l/e. Assume five independent measurements are made, and the measured values of k (in N/m) are 36.4, 35.4, 38.6, 36.6 and 38.0 Estimate the spring constant, and find the uncertainty in the estimate. Find an approximate value for the uncertainty in the average of 10 measurements. Approximately how many measurements must be made to reduce the uncertainty to 0.3 N/m? A second spring, similar to the first, is measured once. The measured value for k is 39.3. Approximately how mu Ch is the uncertainty in this measurement?

When a vertical beam of light passes through a transparent medium, the rate at which its intensity i decreases is proportional to i(t), where t represents the thickness of the medium (in feet). in clear seawater, the intensity 3 feet below the surface is 25% of the initial intensity i0 of the incident beam. what is the intensity of the beam "10" feet below the surface? (give your answer in terms of i0. round any constants or coefficients to five decimal places.)

In the circuit, the switch s has been open for a long time and r = 125 kohm. it is then suddenly closed. (a) determine the time constant before the switch is closed. s (b) determine the time constant after the switch is closed. _ s (c) let the switch be closed at t = 0. find the current in the switch as a function of time. (use t for time. express your answer in milliamps and seconds.) i(t) =_
