The spring constant is 4 N/m
Explanation:
When a spring is stretched/compressed by the application of a force, the relationship between the magnitude of the force applied and the elongation of the spring is given by Hooke's law:
where
F is the magnitude of the spring applied
k is the spring constant
x is the elongation of the spring, relative to its equilibrium position
For the spring in this problem, we have:
F = 0.12 N (force applied)
x = 3 cm = 0.03 m (elongation of the spring)
Therefore, we can solve the formula for k to find the spring constant:
