Question

A spring stretches 2 meters when a 12 N force is acting on it. What is the spring constant (k)? 10 N/m 0.17 N/m 2 N/m 6 N/m

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Hooke's Law is linear; mathematically, it looks like this:

F = -kΔx where k is the spring constant. Filling in and solving for k:

12 = -k(-2) so

k = 6N/m
