Data:
F (force) = ? (Newton)
k (<span>Constant spring force) = 50 N/m
x (</span>Spring deformation) = 15 cm → 0.15 m

Formula:
F = k*x

Solving: 
F = k*x
F = 50*0.15
\boxed{\boxed{F = 7.5\:N}}\end{array}}\qquad\quad\checkmark

Data:
E (energy) = ? (joule)
k (Constant spring force) = 50 N/m
x (Spring deformation) = 15 cm → 0.15 m

Formula:
E = \frac{k*x^2}{2}

Solving:(Energy associated with this stretching)
E = \frac{k*x^2}{2}
E =  \frac{50*0.15^2}{2}
E =  \frac{50*0.0225}{2}
E =  \frac{1.125}{2}
\boxed{\boxed{E = 0.5625\:J}}\end{array}}\qquad\quad\checkmark

A gas sample occupies 4.2 L at a pressure of 101 kPa. What volume will it occupy if the pressure is increased to 235 kPa?
Dmitrij [34]
For this we want to use Boyle's Law. Boyle’s law states that the pressure and volume of a fixed quantity of a gas are inversely proportional under constant temperature conditions. The formula for this is P1V1 = P2V2. We want to solve this out so it equals V2 (Volume 2). So P1V1 / P2 = V2. Then plug in your values for the variables. So (101)(4.2) / 235 = V2; so 424.2 / 235 = V2. The final volume equals 1.81. I hope this helps, If not I am very sorry.
