Question

Can someone check my work?

Answer 1

There is the question, I need assistance obtaining the second part of the question. This is how I got to the answers.
F = 101,325 * PI *(.036^2)
412.54515
multiplied by .1115 M (first answer which was deemed correct)
= 45.9987 my answer

Answer 2

the work done is not a linear function of distance. as the spring compresses, its resistance increases

there are a few ways to do this. the easiest may be to know that the energy stored in a spring is \(\frac{1}{2}kx^2\). that is the work done by the atmosphere.

there are other ways to look at it.

Answer 3

@IrishBoy123 So you would say the correct way to solve is
1/2(3700)(.1115^2)
= 22.99 J
?

Answer 4

that makes sense.

but do you agree?

Answer 5

Yes. I do! Thanks a lot looks like I was using the wrong formula.
