Question

what is the extension of the spring? Can you convert your answer into meters?

Answer 1

Hooke's Law

Forces can cause objects to deform (i.e. change their shape). The way in which an object deforms depends on its dimensions, the material it is made of, the size of the force and direction of the force.

This is Hooke's law. It can be written as:

This is Hooke's law. It can be written as:F = ke

The spring constant k is measured in Nm¹ because it is the force per unit extension.

To convert centimetre into meter multiply by 100 .
