Let the original length of the chord be L.
Since a load of 2N stretches the chord to its elastic limit, we can write:
2N = kL
where k is the spring constant of the chord.
To find k, we can use the information given in the second part of the problem:
When a force of 0.5N is applied, the chord is extended by 0.6 cm. So we have:
0.5N = k(35cm + 0.6cm)
Simplifying this, we get:
k = 0.5N / 35.6cm = 0.014 cm^-1
Now, let's find the new length of the chord when a stretching force of 2.5N is applied.
We can use Hooke's law:
F = kx
where F is the stretching force, x is the extension of the chord, and k is the spring constant we just found.
We want to find the new length L' when the force is 2.5N and the extension is x'. So we have:
2.5N = k(L' - L)
0.5cm = x' - 0.6cm (since the original length is 35cm)
Now we can solve for L':
L' = (2.5N + 2N)/k + L
L' = (4.5N) / 0.014 cm^-1 + 35cm
L' = 364.29 cm
Therefore, the length of the chord when the stretching force is 2.5N will be 364.29 cm.

Now we can solve for L':
L' = (2.5N + 2N)/k + L
L' = (4.5N) / 0.014 cm^-1 + 35cm
L' = 364.29 cm
Therefore, the length of the chord when the stretching force is 2.5N will be 364.29 cm.

The potential energy stored in a spring is given by the formula:
U = (1/2)kx^2
where U is the potential energy, k is the force constant of the spring, and x is the displacement of the spring from its equilibrium position.
In this problem, we are given that the force constant of the spring is 1500 N/m. We are also told that a constant force of 75 N is acting on the spring. In order to calculate the potential energy stored in the spring, we need to determine how much the spring is displaced from its equilibrium position as a result of this applied force.
We know that the force acting on the spring is equal to the force constant times the displacement of the spring:
F = kx
In this case, the force acting on the spring is 75 N, and the force constant is 1500 N/m. Solving for x, we get:
x = F/k = 75 N / 1500 N/m = 0.05 m
So the spring is displaced by 0.05 meters as a result of the applied force.
Now we can calculate the potential energy stored in the spring:
U = (1/2)kx^2 = (1/2)(1500 N/m)(0.05 m)^2 = 2.25 J
Therefore, the potential energy stored in the spring is 2.25 joules.
U = (1/2)kx^2
where U is the potential energy, k is the force constant of the spring, and x is the displacement of the spring from its equilibrium position.

U = (1/2)kx^2 = (1/2)(1500 N/m)(0.05 m)^2 = 2.25 J
Therefore, the potential energy stored in the spring is 2.25 joules.
