Answer 2

Answer:

The SI unit of spring constant is Newtons/meter (N/m).

Explanation:

The force acting on the spring is given by Hooke's law as :

$F=-kx$

Where

k is the spring constant

x s the compression or stretching in the spring

Negative sign shows that the force is acting in opposite direction of compression and stretching.

$k=\dfrac{F}{x}$

The SI unit of force is newton and the SI unit of distance is meters. So, the SI unit of spring constant is Newtons/meter. Hence, this is the required solution.
