We want to determine the constant of a spring using Hooke's Law as reference. From the experiment we can extract the following pairs (Applied Force (N), How much the spring elogated (m)): {(2,4),(4,7),(7,15),(8,16)}.

a) Determine the value that minimizes the cuadratic error for the constant of the spring (F=kx)

b) Could we find an approximate solution that generates a residual vector r with cuadratic norm ||r||^2 = 0.45?(Remember that r = b - ?? ̂. )

Expert Solution

(a) Plot the given data. Perform a least-square fit. Then the value of 'k' you will obtain will have minimum quadratic error.

I have plotted the given data in Excel. And the value of 'k' obtained from it (least-square fitting) is

k = 0.5 N/m (see the graph attached below).

(b) following are the residuals for all four data points

r = F (data) - K (estimated) * x (data)

r1 = 2 - 0.5*4 = 0 , ||r1||^2 = 0

r2 = 4 - 0.5*7 = 0.5 , ||r2||^2 = 0.25

r3 = 7 - 0.5*15 = -0.5 , ||r3||^2 = 0.25

r4 = 8 - 0.5*16 = 0 , ||r1||^2 = 0.

A spring has a Hooke's law spring constant of 3.4 N/m. If you load it with 1.3 kg, how far will it extend from its equilibrium length? A spring 10 cm long extends 0.5 cm when a mass of 8 kg is hung from it. Suppose you made an similar spring of the same material, but twice as long. How much would it extend with the same mass? If you apply a force {f} newtons on a spring, and it...

Learning Goal: To understand the use of Hooke's law for a spring. Hooke's law states that the restoring force F⃗ on a spring when it has been stretched or compressed is proportional to the displacement x⃗ of the spring from its equilibrium position. The equilibrium position is the position at which the spring is neither stretched nor compressed. Recall that F⃗ ∝x⃗ means that F⃗ is equal to a constant times x⃗ . For a spring, the proportionality constant is called the spring constant...

In our physics lab, we did a experiment regarding Hooke's law, and the goal is to find the spring constant by using a simulation. In the first section of the procedure, our instructor intentionally give us the wrong instruction, which tells us to find spring constant using varying mass, delta x and constant gravity. In the second section of the procedure, we need to figure out what went wrong in the first section that caused us to incorrectly measure the...

Three engineers are independently estimating the spring constant of a spring, using the linear model specified by Hooke’s law. Engineer A measures the length of the spring under loads of 0, 1, 2, 4, and 6 lb, for a total of five measurements. Engineer B uses the same loads, but repeats the experiment twice, for a total of 10 independent measurements. Engineer C uses loads of 0, 2, 4, 8, and 12 lb, measuring once for each load. The engineers...
