Question

NEED ASAP STEP BY STEP EXPLANATION

A spring stretches by 0.12 m when some apples weighing 3.2 N are supported from it. What is the Spring Constant?

Answer 1

• Displacement=0.12m=x
• Force=F=3.2N

• Spring constant=k

$\\ \sf\longmapsto k=-\dfrac{F}{x}$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto k=-\dfrac{3.12}{0.12}$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto k=-26N/m$
