Question

You apply a force of 500 N to 150 N/m. how much does it stretch? Show the equation you are using, plus the values into the equation, and show the final answer with the units. 3 significant figures.

Answer 1

3.33m

Step-by-step explanation:

Given parameters:

Force applied =500N

Elastic constant = 150N/m

Unknown:

Amount of stretch or extension = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem use the expression below:

F = k e

F is the force applied

k is the elastic constant

e is the extension

So;

500 = 150 x e

e =
`(500)/(150)` = 3.33m
