Homework Statement Hey guys I need help with a lab I'm doing that is similar to the Milikan's experiment. I am given 10 bags each holding the same item (Jellybean) of various quantities. Each bag has a different mass. What I'm trying to figure out is the mass of the individual item, so mass...

Hi, I was reading a research article on the effects of sodium iodoacetate on glycolysis (http://www.jbc.org/content/141/2/539.full.pdf"), and it got me thinking. What effect would iodoacetate have on the life span of any living cell? From the article, I understood that it aided in stopping...

Homework Statement I am trying to derive the effective spring constant of two springs, with different spring constants, in series. I know the equation is everyone online, so the effective spring constant is k1k2/k1+k2. So the question is, when deriving it, the force exerted on each spring...

Hmm the thing is, I know you can add up the forces to find the total spring force on the object but how would I find the effective spring constant in that case? I think I'm averaging the two stretches in order to mimic the ideal case where the stretches are the same. So i guess the final...

Hi. This question is from a lab that I am doing in school. For the lab, I had to use 2 different springs of different length and spring constant. Then I attached various masses and recorded the stretch when the 2 springs are put in parallel. Then teacher asked me to find the effective spring...

So how do I find the effective spring constant then?

Homework Statement How do we calculate the effective spring constant of springs in parallel, where the springs have different spring constants and different stretch distances (because the original lengths of the springs are different).Homework Equations Hooke's Law --> Fx = kx The Attempt at...
