Answer:
40000÷40=1000 joules is required to work in 40 seconds
<u>Answer;</u>
<em>Spring constant </em>
<u>Explanation;</u>
The measure of a spring’s resistance to being compressed or stretched is the <u>spring constant</u>.
- The symbol of spring constant is K, since it is a constant. From the Hooke's law,for a helical spring or any elastic material, the extension force is directly proportional to the extension provided the elastic limit is not exceeded.
- Therefore; the spring constant = Force/extension. That is; K = F/e; where k is the spring constant, F is the extension force and e is the extension.
- Spring constant depicts the resistance of the spring to compressional and stretching forces.
