Question

A 6 N weight is hung on a spring that is extended by 0.2 m, what is the spring constant (k) of the spring?

Answer 1

Dear Student,

● Answer -

Spring constant of the spring is 30 N/m

● Explaination -

# Given -

F = 6 N

x = 0.2 m

# Solution -

Magnitude of restoring force is related to extension as -

F = kx

Substitute values,

6 = k × 0.2

k = 6 / 0.2

k = 30 N/m

Hence, spring constant of the spring is 30 N/m.

Thanks dear. Hope this helps you...
