Answer:
0.1 N
Step-by-step explanation:
Considering the relationship between force,
spring constant and extension as defined by Hook's law
The force F=xk as from Hooke's law where F is the force of the spring, k is spring constant and x is extension or compression. Substituting 2 N/m for k and 5cm which is equivalent to 0.05 m for extention x then the force will be
F=2*0.05=0.1 N
