Answer:

The spring constant of the spring is k=4.9\times 10^3\ N/m.

Explanation:

Mass of the rock is 2.5 kg

It is dropped off a 32 m cliff and hits a spring, compressing it 57 cm. It is required to find the spring constant.

When it falls form a height, it possess potential energy and when it hits a spring, the potential energy gets converted to elastic potential energy such that :

mgh=\dfrac{1}{2}kx^2

Here, k is spring constant

k=\dfrac{2mgh}{x^2}\\\\k=\frac{2\cdot2.5\cdot10\cdot32}{0.57^{2}}\\\\k=4924.59\ N/m

k=4.9\times 10^3\ N/m

So, the spring constant of the spring is k=4.9\times 10^3\ N/m.
