A weight of 200 n is hung from a spring with a spring constant of 2500 n/m and lowered slowly. How much will the spring stretch?
2 answers:
The length by which the spring got stretched will be 0.08 m. The force is directly propotional to the distance by which the spring stretched.
<h3>What is spring force?</h3>The force required to extend or compress a spring by some distance scales linearly with respect to that distance is known as the spring force. Its formula is
F = kx
The given data in the problem is;
F is the spring force =200
K is the spring constant= 2500 N/m
x is the length by which spring got stretched =?
The stretch of the spring is found as;
Hence the length by which the spring got stretched will be 0.08 m.

The representation of this problem is shown in Figure 1. So our goal is to find the vector 
. From the figure we know that:
From geometry, we know that:
Then using vector decomposition into components:
Therefore:
So if you want to find out <span>how far are you from your starting point you need to know the magnitude of the vector, that is:
</span>
Finally, let's find the <span>compass direction of a line connecting your starting point to your final position. What we are looking for here is an angle that is shown in Figure 2 which is an angle defined with respect to the positive x-axis. Therefore:
