I need help! please and thank you!!

Many machines- including inclined planes such as ramps- increase the strength of the force put into the machine but decrease the distance over which the force is applied. true or false

Total solidification times of three casting geometries are to be compared: a sphere, a cylinder, in which the length-to-diameter ration - 1.0, and a cube. volume = 1000 cm^3 for all three shhapes, and the same casting alloy is used. a) determine the solidification times of each geometry b) based on the results of part (a), which geometric element would make the best riser? c) if the mold constant = 3.5 min/cm^2 in chvorinov's rule, compute the total solidification time for each casting.

Question part points submissions used suppose that 2 j of work is needed to stretch a spring from its natural length of 26 cm to a length of 36 cm. (a) how much work is needed to stretch the spring from 28 cm to 32 cm? (round your answer to two decimal places.)
