Question

A mass of 3.0kg is attached to a spring scale with a spring constant of 36N/m. what is the spring's displacement?

Answer 1

Explanation:

Given A mass of 3.0 kg is attached to a spring scale with a spring constant of 36 N/m. what is the spring's displacement?

• So given
• Mass m = 3 kg
• Acceleration due to gravity g = 9.8 m/s^2
• Spring constant k = 36 N/m
• So net force F = 0
• Now F elastic + F g = - kx – mg
• So we have  
•                mg = - kx
•                 Or x = - mg / k
•                         = - 3.0 kg x 9.8 m/s^2 / 36 N/m
•                         = - 0.816 m
