Question

Mr. Mangan pulls on a spring with a force of 550 N and it stretches 1.2 m. What is the spring constant in the spring?

Answer 1

F = k x

Where:

F= Force applied = 550N

k= spring constant

x= displacement = 1.2m

Replace with the values given and solve for k

550 = k * 1.2

550/1.2 = k

k= 458.333 N/m
