Answer:
20 N/m
Explanation:
From the question,
The ball-point pen obays hook's law.
From hook's law,
F = ke............................ Equation 1
Where F = Force, k = spring constant, e = compression.
Make k the subject of the equation
k = F/e........................ Equation 2
Given: F = 0.1 N, e = 0.005 m.
Substitute these values into equation 2
k = 0.1/0.005
k = 20 N/m.
Hence the spring constant of the tiny spring is 20 N/m

Answer:
W = 19.845 J
Explanation:
Work is defined as W = Fdcos
, where F is the force exerted and d is the distance. Because the direction the ball is falling is the same direction as the force itself, = 0 deg, and since cos(0) = 1, this equation is equivalent to W = Fd. In this case, the force exerted is the weight force, which is equivalent to m * g. Substituting you get:
W = mgd = 0.810 kg * 9.8 m/s^2 * 2.5m
W = 19.845 J
