Answer:

Displacement, x = 0.25 m

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that,

Spring constant, k = 10 N/m

Force, F = 2.5 N

We have to find the displacement of a spring. It can be calculated using Hooke's law i.e.

F = - kx

x=(F)/(k)

$x=(2.5\ N)/(10\ N/m)$

x = 0.25 m

Hence, the displacement of the spring is 0.25 m.
