Answer:
7.468 kN
Explanation:
Here the force is given in Newton
Some of the prefixes of the SI units are
kilo = 10³
Mega = 10⁶
Giga = 10⁹
Tera = 10¹²
The number is 7468.0
Here, the only solution where the number of significant figures is kilo. If any other prefix is chosen then the significant figures will increase.
1 kilonewton = 1000 Newton
So, 7468 N = 7.468 kN
The spring constant is 4 N/m
Explanation:
When a spring is stretched/compressed by the application of a force, the relationship between the magnitude of the force applied and the elongation of the spring is given by Hooke's law:
where
F is the magnitude of the spring applied
k is the spring constant
x is the elongation of the spring, relative to its equilibrium position
For the spring in this problem, we have:
F = 0.12 N (force applied)
x = 3 cm = 0.03 m (elongation of the spring)
Therefore, we can solve the formula for k to find the spring constant:
