Question

A spring stretches 5 cm when a 300-N mass is suspended from it. Calculate the spring constant in N / m .

Answer 1

Spring constant in N / m = 6,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Length of spring stretches = 5 cm = 0.05 m

Force = 300 N

Find:

Spring constant in N / m

Computation:

Spring constant in N / m = Force/Distance

Spring constant in N / m = 300 / 0.05

Spring constant in N / m = 6,000
