Question

2. A force of magnitude 44 N compresses a spring 0.69 m from equilibrium. What is the value of the spring constant?

60 N/m
64 N/m
32 N/m
49 N/m

Answer 1

Spring constant = 63.77 N/m

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following data;

Force = 44 N

Extension = 0.69 m

To find the spring constant;

Force = spring constant * extension

Substituting into the formula, we have;

44 = spring constant * 0.69

Spring constant = 44/0.69

Spring constant = 63.77 N/m
