Question

A spring
is displaced by 5cm and held in place
force of 500N what is the spring constant of the spring?
​

Answer 1

Answer:

We know that the spring is displaced by 5 cm, but the unit of the spring constant is Newtons per meter. This means that we have to convert the distance to meters. Therefore, the spring constant of the spring is 1000 N/m.

Answer 2

Answer:

Here is the answer =>

Explanation:

As spring energy =1/2kx^2

Where k=spring constant.

and x=displacement.

So 500N=1/2kx^2

1000N=k(0.5)^2

1000N=25k

k=1000/0.25(S.I unit = in m).

=4000N/m

So the of spring constant(k) is 4000N/m which is the required answer.
