Explanation:
Natural length of a spring is
. The spring is streched by
. The resultant energy of the spring is
.
The potential energy of an ideal spring with spring constant
and elongation
is given by
.
So, in the current problem, the natural length of the spring is not required to find the spring constant
.

∴ The spring constant of the spring =

Answer:
D, the lithosphere. (CRUST AND UPPER MANTLE)
Explanation:
A tectonic plate (also called lithospheric plate) is a massive, irregularly shaped slab of solid rock, generally composed of both continental and oceanic lithosphere. Plate size can vary greatly, from a few hundred to thousands of kilometers across; the Pacific and Antarctic Plates are among the largest. Plate thickness also varies greatly, ranging from less than 15 km for young oceanic lithosphere to about 200 km or more for ancient continental lithosphere (for example, the interior parts of North and South America).

Answer:
Evaporation is the physical change in which a substance converts from its <u>liquid</u> state to its <u>gaseous</u> state. Condensation is the physical change in which a substance converts from its <u>gaseous</u> state to its <u>liquid</u> state.
Explanation:
Evaporation and condensation are opposite processes to each other. Evaporation changes a liquid to a gas and condensation is the reverse.
