Answer:

Approximately 13\; {\rm N \cdot m^{-1}} (assuming that g = 9.81\; {\rm N \cdot kg^{-1}}.)

Explanation:

Let F_{\text{s}} denote the force that this spring exerts on the object. Let x denote the displacement of this spring from the equilibrium position.

By Hooke's Law, the spring constant k of this spring would ensure that F_\text{s} = -k\, x.

Note that the mass of the object attached to this spring is m = 540\; {\rm g} = 0.540\; {\rm kg}. Thus, the weight of this object would be m\, g = 0.540\; {\rm kg} \times 9.81\; {\rm N \cdot kg^{-1}} \approx 5.230\; {\rm N}.

Assuming that this object is not moving, the spring would need to exert an upward force of the same magnitude on the object. Thus, F_{\text{s}} = 5.230\; {\rm N}.

The spring in this question was stretched downward from its equilibrium by:

\begin{aligned} x &= (70\; {\rm cm} - 110\; {\rm cm}) \\ &= (-40)\; {\rm cm} \\ &= (-0.40) \; {\rm m}\end{aligned}.

(Note that x is negative since this displacement points downwards.)

Rearrange Hooke's Law to find k in terms of F_{\text{s}} and x:

\begin{aligned} k &= \frac{F_{\text{s}}}{-x} \\ &\approx \frac{5.230\; {\rm N}}{-(-0.40)\; {\rm m}} \\ &\approx 13\; {\rm N \cdot m^{-1}}\end{aligned}.

Answer:

F' = 800 N

Explanation:

The electrical force between charges is 400 N.

The electrical force between two charges is given by :

F=k\dfrac{q_1q_2}{r^2}

If q₁' = 2q₁, new force becomes,

F'=k\dfrac{q_1'q_2'}{r^2}\\\\F'=k\dfrac{2q_1\times q_2}{r^2}\\\\F'=2\times F\\\\F'=2\times 400\\\\F'=800\ N

So, the new force becomes 800 N.
