Two tugboats pull a disabled supertanker. Each tug exerts a constant force of 1.9×10⁶ N, one an angle 10 ∘ west of north and the other an angle 10 ∘ east of north, as they pull the tanker a distance 0.87 km toward the north.

What is the total work they do on the supertanker?

Express your answer in joules.

A spring with force constant k = 175 N/m is attached to the ground. On top of the spring a 1.30 kg metal pan is attached. The combination could be used as a scale, but we are going to do something more interesting. We place a metal ball with mass 0.250 kg on the tray and then the tray is pushed down 0.150 m below its equilibrium point and released from rest (take this as t = 0). a) At...
