Ablock is suspended from the ceiling by a long, thin strip of tungsten metal. the strip behaves as a spring. to produce a 0.25m horizontal deflection of the block, a force of 6.5 n is required. calculate the spring constant for the tungsten strip.

Light from two different sources are incident upon the same side of a polarizing filter. light from one source is polarized with total intensity ip, while light from the other source is unpolarized with total intensity iu. as you rotate the polarizing filter through 360 degrees, the intensity of the transmitted light on the other side varies by a factor of 9. what is the relative intensity of the initial polarized source to the unpolarized source, or ip/iu?
