Question

A spring with a spring of 4.75n/m applies a force of 3.25N when it is stretched. How much was the spring compressed

Answer 1

Answer:

The spring was compressed by 0.684 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Soring constant, k = 4.75

The applied force, F = 3.25 N

Note that spring will compress back by the same distance it expands

Compression, x = ?

Using the equation F = kx

3.25 = 4.75x

x = 3.25/4.75

x = 0.684 m

The spring was compressed by 0.684 m
