Question

An ornament of mass 42.0 g is attached to a vertical ideal spring with a force constant (spring constant) of 33.9 N/m. The ornament is then lowered very slowly until the spring stops stretching. How much does the spring stretch?

Answer 1

Extension is 12.14m

Step-by-step explanation:

mass of ornament=42g,weight of ornament=mg=42*9.8=411.6

Force constant(k)= 33.9N/m

F=ke

e=F/k

F is force, e is extension

F=weight of ornament

e=411.6/33.9

e=12.14m
