The 55 year old woman that is awakened by an excruciating
pain, radiating from her right abdomen, down to her flank on the same side must
be experiencing a serious medical condition. These medical conditions could be
urinary tract infection or even dehydration. Discomfort on the abdomen and
flank pain could also indicate that she has kidney stones or kidney problem.
According to Hooke's law, Force = spring constant x displacement of the spring. Spring constant = Force/displacement in spring = 45/0.14 = 321.42 N/m. Hope this helps!
