A 2.00 kg block hangs from a spring. A 300 g body hung below the block stretches the spring 2.00 cm farther. (a) What is the spring constant

Respuesta :

The spring constant is 147 N/m

Given the mass of the block is 2.00 kg , the mass of the body is 300 g and the length of the spring is 2.00 cm

We need to find the spring constant

A spring is an object that can be deformed by a force and then return to its original shape after the force is removed.

The force required to stretch an elastic object such as a metal spring is directly proportional to the extension of the spring

We know that F = kx

300(9.8)= k (0.02)

k = 147.15 N/m

Rounding off to the nearest is 147N/m

The spring constant is 147N/m
