Question

What is the displacement of a spring if it has a spring constant of 10 N/m, and a force of 2.5 N is applied?

Answer 1

O.25 m is the displacement

Answer 2

Answer:

Displacement, x = 0.25 m

Explanation:

It is given that,

Spring constant, k = 10 N/m

Force, F = 2.5 N

We have to find the displacement of a spring. It can be calculated using Hooke's law i.e.

F = - kx

$x=\dfrac{F}{k}$

$x=\dfrac{2.5\ N}{10\ N/m}$

x = 0.25 m

Hence, the displacement of the spring is 0.25 m.
