Question

A 76 N crate is hung from a spring

(k = 450 N/m). How much displacement
is caused by the weight of this crate

Answer 1

Answer: 0.169 (3 s.f.)

Step-by-step explanation:

Force = 76 N

Spring constant = 450 N/m

Extension/displacement = x

Hooke's law states that: F = kx

Therefore, 76 = 450 X x

76/450 = x

0.169 (3 s.f.) = x
