Question

A spring is hung from the ceiling. A 0.442-kg block is then attached to the free end of the spring. When released from rest, the block drops 0.150 m before momentarily coming to rest, after which it moves back upward. (a) What is the spring constant of the spring

Answer 1

`K=58.8N/m`

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Mass
`M=0.442`

Drop distance
`d=0.150`

Generally the equation for Spring Constant is mathematically given by

`K=(2mg)/(x)`

`K=(2*0.442*9.8)/(1.150)`

`K=58.8N/m`
