Question

What is the spring constant of compressing a spring 0.88 meters produces a force of 7.8 Newtons?

Answer 1

Apply Hooke's law:

F = k * x

Where:

F = force = 7.8 N

x = distance = 0.88 m

k = Spring constant

Replacing with the values given:

k = F / x = 7.8 N / 0.88 m = 8.86 N/m

Spring constant = 8.86 N/m
