Question

How much displacement will a spring with a constant of 120N / m achieve if it is stretched by a force of 60N?

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

There's a formula for this:

`F = k*displacement`

F being force, k being the spring constant, and displacement being the change in x

We are given the force and the spring constant, so this is essentially isolating the Δx term. Do 60N/120N per meter. The newtons cancel out and you get a final answer of Δx = 0.5 meters
