Answer:
212N/m
Step-by-step explanation:
First of all, what is spring constant
As per Hooke's law, The restoring force applied by the spring is proportional to the change in length, and restoring force is directed towards the equilibrium position. The proportionality constant is called the spring constant and it is a measure of the stiffness of the spring. So as Hooke's law
F = -Kx
Where
F -> Restoring force
K-> Spring constant
x -> change in length
the negative sign indicates it is acting toward the center
Rearranging this for the Spring constant, Spring constant formula is given by
k = Fx
Unit of Spring Constant is Newton/meter
