Question

A spring with a spring constant of 23.6 N/m has a mass attached that exerts a force of 6.28 Newtons. What is the displacement?

Answer 1

Answer:

26.6 cm

Explanation:

We are given that

Spring constant=23.6 N/m

Force exert=6.28 N

We have to find the displacement.

We know that Hooke's law

$F=kx$

Where k= Spring constant

x=Displacement

Using the formula

Then, we get

$6.28=23.6 x$

$x=\frac{6.28}{23.6}=0.266m$

We know that 1 m=100 cm

$x=0.266\times 100=26.6 cm$

Hence, the displacement =26.6 cm
