Explanation:
Given that,
Weight of the friend, W = 600 N
When the friend sits on the metal frame it bends downward 4 cm, we can say that the compression in the it is 4 cm or 0.04 m
To find,
Spring constant for this chair or k
Solve :
The weight of an object is equal to the force exerted by the gravitational force, F = 600 N
According to Hooke's law, the force exerted by the spring is given by :
F = kx
k is the spring constant


k = 15000 N/m
Therefore, the spring constant of the spring is 15000 N/m.
I would say that the answer is 4.) because if she does most of cooking on the stove, that would allow us to make the assumption that she is using heat and therefore requires and apparatus that conducts heat. Copper is also a metallic that is known to be conductive.
