Mechanical waves travel the fastest in
solids and liquids because the
molecules are more closely packed together than gases, so energy is transferred
from one particle to another particle faster<span>.</span>
<u>Answer:</u>
2N/cm
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
According to the Hooke's Law, the force required to extend or compress a spring is directly proportional distance you can stretch it, which is represented as:

where,
is the force which is stretching or compressing the spring,
is the spring constant; and
is the distance the spring is stretched.
Substituting the given values to find the elastic constant
to get:




Therefore, the elastic constant is 2 Newton/cm.
