Where:
Since the object is hanging the only force acting on the spring is the weight of the object. The weight of the object is:
Where:
Plugging in the values we get:
Solving the operations:
Now we solve for "x" from Hook's law by dividing both sides by "k":
Now we plug in the known values:
Solving the operations:
Therefore, the spring is stretched by 5.4 meters.
