Answer: The spring stretched by 80 cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

Force exerted bu the box = 520N

Spring constant = k= 650 N/m

Meter by which spring stretched = x meters

Spring constant formula:


Force=k* distance=k* x


x=(520 N)/(650 N/m)=0.8 m=80 cm (1 m=100 cm)

The spring is stretched by 80 cm.
