Suppose a force of \(30 \mathrm{N}\) is required to stretch and hold a spring \(0.2 \mathrm{m}\) from its equilibrium position. a. Assuming the spring obeys Hooke's law, find the spring constant \(k\) b. How much work is required to compress the spring \(0.4 \mathrm{m}\) from its equilibrium position? c. How much work is required to stretch the spring \(0.3 \mathrm{m}\) from its equilibrium position? d. How much additional work is required to stretch the spring \(0.2 \mathrm{m}\) if it has already been stretched \(0.2 \mathrm{m}\) from its equilibrium position?
A 10-kg mass is attached to a spring that hangs vertically and is stretched 2 m from the equilibrium position of the spring. Assume a linear spring with \(F(x)=k x\) a. How much work is required to compress the spring and lift the mass 0.5 m? b. How much work is required to stretch the spring and lower the mass 0.5 m?
Carry out the following steps to derive the formula \(\int \operatorname{csch} x d x=\ln |\tanh (x / 2)|+C\) (Theorem 9). a. Change variables with the substitution \(u=x / 2\) to show that $$\int \operatorname{csch} x d x=\int \frac{2 d u}{\sinh 2 u}$$. b. Use the identity for \(\sinh 2 u\) to show that \(\frac{2}{\sinh 2 u}=\frac{\operatorname{sech}^{2} u}{\tanh u}\). c. Change variables again to determine \(\int \frac{\operatorname{sech}^{2} u}{\tanh u} d u,\) and then express your answer in terms of \(x\).
Show that \(\cosh ^{-1}(\cosh x)=|x|\) by using the formula \(\cosh ^{-1} t=\ln (t+\sqrt{t^{2}-1})\) and by considering the cases \(x \geq 0\) and \(x<0\).
Compute the following derivatives using the method of your choice. $$\frac{d}{d x}\left[\left(\frac{1}{x}\right)^{x}\right]$$
