According to Hooke's Law, the force required to hold the spring stretched xm beyond its natural length is given by f(x) = kx, where k is the spring constant. Suppose that 3 J of work is needed to stretch a spring from its natural length of 34 cm to a length of 49 cm. Find the exact value of k, in N/m. k = N/m (a) How much work (in J) is needed to stretch the spring from 42 cm to 44 cm ? (Round your answer to two decimal places.) (b) How far beyond its natural length (in cm) will a force of 25 N keep the spring stretched? (Round your answer one decimal place.) cm

Ornithologists have determined that some species of birds tend to avoid flights over large bodies of water during daylight hours. It is believed that more energy is required to fly over water than land because air generally rises over land and falls over water during the day. (i) A bird with these tendencies is released from an island that is 3 km from the nearest point B on a straight shoreline, flies to a point C on the shoreline, and then flies along the shoreline to its nesting area D. Points B and D are 10 km apart. Assume that the bird instinctively chooses a path that will minimize its energy expenditure. (Round your answers to two decimal places.) (a) In general, if it takes 1.2 times as much energy to fly over water as land, to what point C should the bird fly in order to minimize the total energy expended in returning to its nesting area? km from B (b) Let W and L denote the energy (in joules) per kilometer flown over water and land, respectively. Assuming the bird's energy expenditure is minimized, determine a function for the ratio WL in terms of x, the distance from B to C. W/L = (c) What should the value of W/L be in order for the bird to fly directly to its nesting area D? (d) If the ornithologists observe that birds of a certain species reach the shore at a point 2 km from B, how many times more energy does it take a bird to fly over water than land?
