Question

A 25 N force stretches a spring 0.280 m. What was the spring constant?

Answer 1

the spring constant is -89.2857 n/m

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the spring constant is shown below:

As we know that

Force in newtons = Spring constant × amount of extension

F = -k × x

where

F = 25 N

And, x = 0.280m

So, the spring constant would 2

= 25N ÷ 0.280 m

= -89.2857 n/m

Hence the spring constant is -89.2857 n/m
