Answer:
7503.13 N/m
Explanation:
Use principle of conservation of energy.
Here, energy stored in the spring due to compression shall be utilized in attaining the potential energy of the mug.
Given that,
Length of the spring = 20 cm = 0.20 m
Compression, x = 8 cm = 0.08 m
mass of the mug, m = 350 g = 0.35 kg
h = 7 m
use the expression for energy balance -
(1/2)*k*x^2 = m*g*h
=> k = (2*m*g*h) / x^2
input the values
k = (2*0.35*9.8*7) / 0.08^2
= 7503.13 N/m
Because gas and liquid are both different things
