Answer:
40 N/m
Explanation:
The diagram attached is used to answer the question
We know from Hooke's law that extension is directly proportional to the applied force hence
F=kx where x is extension, F is applied force and k is the spring constant. Making k the subject of the formula then

From the attached diagram extension is given by subtracting unstretched spring from stretched spring hence extension, x=1-0.5=0.5m
Substituting 20 N for F and 0.5 m for x then

all engines operate at less than 100 percent efficiency because they EMIT heat. ;)
