Physical chemists tell us that a typical chemical bond has a force constant in the range of k = 500 Nm. Assume that we have a spring with the same force constant, and that a 1.00 pound weight is attached. How far will the spring stretch? (Hint: need to introduce acceleration due to gravity and balance downward and upward forces)
