Question

URGENT PLEASE HELP!!!!! A spring has a spring constant of 105 N/m. If you compress the spring 0.1 m past its natural length, what force does the spring apply? A. 500N, B. 10.5N, C. 0.0005N, D. 1050N

Answer 1

I believe it is 10.5?? 

Answer 2

Answer:

Force, F = -10.5 N

Explanation:

It is given that,

Spring constant of a spring, k = 105 N/m

The compression in the spring, x = 0.1 m

We need to find the force applied by the spring. We know that the Hooke's law gives the relationship between the force and the compression in the spring. It is given by :

F = -kx

$F=-105\ N/m\times 0.1\ m$

F = -10.5 N

So, the force applied by the spring is 10.5 N. Hence, this is the required solution.
