Answer:

Spring Constant

Explanation:

Hooke's law: The force required to squeeze or expand a spring by a distance (d) is directly proportional to the distance. It is given as,

F_{s} = K\times d

Here, K = spring constant.

It is measure of the stiffness of the spring. If we draw the graph of Force with respect to the distance it will be a linear plot passing through the origin. The slope of the plot will be equal to K.

So Hooke's law says that that law is proportional to how much I stretch the spring. Alright. So f=kx<span>. x is the length of the spring now minus its length when it's relaxed and nobody's pulling on it. k is a constant called the spring constant.</span>

morpeh [17]

Answer:

W = 112.76MJ

Explanation:

the work is:

W = F_xD

where F_x is the force executed in the direction of the displacement and the d the displacement.

so:

W = 12000Ncos(20)(10000)

we use the cos of the angule because it give us the proyection in the axis x of the force, that means the force in the direction of the displacement.

W = 112.76MJ
