Answer:

The spring constant of this spring  is 200 N/m.

Explanation:

Given:

Original unstretched length of the spring (x₀) = 10 cm =0.10 m [1 cm =0.01 m]

Stretched length of the spring (x₁) = 18 cm = 0.18 cm

Force acting on the spring (F) = 16 N

Spring constant of the spring (k) = ?

First let us find the change in length of the spring or the elongation caused in the spring due to the applied force.

So, Change in length = Final length - Initial length

\Delta x = x_1-x_0=0.18-0.10=0.08\ m

Now, restoring force acting on the spring is directly related to its elongation or compression as:

F=k\Delta x

Rewriting in terms of 'k', we get:

k=\dfrac{F}{\Delta x}

Now, plug in the given values and solve for 'k'. This gives,

k=\frac{16\ N}{0.08\ m}\\\\k=200\ N/m

Therefore, the spring constant of this spring  is 200 N/m.

What are 3 different forces that act on objects on the earth ΩvΩ
Stolb23 [73]
A force is a push or pull acting upon an object as a result of its interaction with another object. There are a variety of types of forces. a variety of force types were placed into two broad category headings on the basis of whether the force resulted from the contact or non-contact of the two interacting objects.

Contact Forces

Action-at-a-Distance Forces

Frictional Force
Gravitational Force
Tensional Force
Electrical Force
Normal Force
Magnetic Force
Air Resistance Force
Applied Force
Spring Force


These are types of individual forces



Applied Force
Gravitational Force
Normal Force
Frictional Force
Air Resistance Force
