Question

A spring has a spring constant of 600 N/m. If 50 kg mass is hung on the spring how far will it be displaced if the spring is on the moon? (g= 1.66 m/s2)

Answer 1

Displacement = -0.13833 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Data:

spring constan0:t k = 600N/m

mass: m = 50 kg

gravity on the moon: g = 1.66 m/s^2

displacement: x = ?

Formula:

`x\text{ = }(F)/(-k)`

Force: F = m*g

Solutions:

. F = 50 * 1.66 = 83 N

.

`x=(83)/(-600)\approx\text{ -0.138333 m}`
