If this spider suspends itself from a single 12-cm-long strand of silk, by how much will the silk stretch?
Orb spiders make silk with a typical diameter of 0.15mm.
A typical large orb spider has a mass of 0.50 . If this spider suspends itself from a single 12-cm-long strand of silk, by how much will the silk stretch?
What is the maximum weight that a single thread of this silk could support?
I saw this question posted already but nobody gave a clear answer/explanation. Please help if you can! Thank you!

1 AnswerPhysics1 decade agoWhat should I do?
Ok so here's the background info:
-I'm a senior in high school
-I'm a Level 10 gymnast
-I stayed injured pretty much my entire junior year and did not do much with the recruiting process because I spent my summer in Cornell Summer College
My problem:
I don't have a college to go to
My question is:
What should I do now? My mom is telling me to quit...actually a lot of people are amazed that I'm still doing gymnastics...
I know that I am and can be a great gymnast and I really want to do college gymnastics
All of my friends have scholarships and it doesn't matter if I get a scholarship or not, I just want to do college gymnastics!
So if anyone has anything that can help me in any way, it would be greatly appreciated!
2 AnswersHigher Education (University +)1 decade agoBreathing Problems - Please Help!?
I am a gymnast, and have been my entire life. I had an injury earlier this year that put me out of practice for a couple months and when I went back into training again, it was obviously very difficult. I spent the summer training, running, trying to get my endurance back up again, but nothing seemed to be working. I thought that maybe I was just not working hard enough and needed to practice more. Now it's November and it's been around half a year that I've been going to practice 24+ hours a week as well as doing other stuff. I am extremely tired everyday and don't really understand how.
For example - the hardest pass in my floor routine last year, a round-off, whip, 2 1/2 layout twist is now out of my routine because i don't have enough energy to do it. The "easiest" pass in my floor routing last december was a round-off, back handspring, layout 2 1/2 twist (yes this is very different) and I had no problem doing it at the end of my routine last year. Now it's my hardest pass.
6 AnswersOther - Health1 decade agoHair Help...?
Ok, so I got my hair Japanese straightened a while ago and it's amazing!!!
But I think the lady who did my hair cut my hair a little above the roots (or they're new roots) but anyways, I have new hair growing straight up!!! It's everywhere!!! I have to cover it with other pieces of hair or gel it down...i'm so tired of doing that...
How can I make it grow faster so that I don't have to deal with this anymore?
