Hello!
Using Hooke's law, F spring=k delta x, find the distance a spring with an elastic constant of 4 N/cm will stretch if a 2 newton force is applied to it.
Data:
Hooke represented mathematically his theory with the equation:
F = K * Δx
On what:
F (elastic force) = 2 N
K (elastic constant) = 4 N/cm
Δx (deformation or elongation of the elastic medium or distance from a spring) = ?
Solving:
simplify by 2
Answer:
B.) 1/2 cm
