Question

In the simulation you were hanging known masses from springs. What happens if

you increase the stiffness of the spring?
a.)The masses will hang lower
b.)The masses will hang higher
c.)Hanging distance is not affected by spring stiffness

Answer 1

Answer: b the masses will hang higher

Explanation:

F=kx

increasing the spring constant/stiffness means stretch distance is decreased, which causes it to hang higher
