Question

A spring has a spring constant of 300 N/m. How much force is in thespring if it is stretched 0.25 m?32

Answer 1

Force applied is directly proportional to displacement.

It is given by the formula

`F=-kx`

Here F is the force , k is the spring constant , x is the displacement.

Substituting the values,

`F=-300\text{ }\ast0.25`
`F=-75\text{ N}`
