A 10-cm-long spring is attached to the ceiling. When a 2.0 kg mass is hung from it, the spring stretches to a length of 15 cm.
What is the spring constant k? Answer for this already found= 392 N/m
1) How long is the spring when a 6.0 kg mass is suspended from it?

Respuesta :

The spring is 20cm long when a 6.0 kg mass is suspended from it.

What is Hooke's Law's spring constant, k?

K stands for the proportionality constant, commonly referred to as the "spring constant." In layman's words, stiffness and strength are shown by the k variable in Hooke's law (F = -kx). An object requires more force to be stretched to a specific length the greater the value of k.

F=-kx

“-ve" is for the direction of motion

K=F/x

Dimensions of F=[MLT-²]

Dimensions of x=[L]

K=[MLT-²]/[L]=[MT-²]

DIMENSIONS OF SPRING CONSTANT IS

[MT-²]

Why do we use the spring constant?

The spring constant is calculated by dividing the force required to stretch or compress a spring by the lengthening or shortening of the spring. It is used to identify whether a spring is stable or unstable, and consequently, what system it should be employed in.
