Answer:

15000N/m

Step-by-step explanation:

Given Force F=150 N

compressed distance = 0.010 m

We know that force on a spring due to to compression or elongation is given by
F=kx here k is force constant and x is compressed or elongated distance

We have to find force constant

So
F=kx=k* 0.010


k=(150)/(0.010)=15000N/m
