Question

A large spring requires a force of 150 N to compress it only 0.010 m. What is the spring constant of the spring?

Answer 1

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`
