Answer:

1411.8 N/m

Explanation:

From Hooke's law;

F= Ke

Where

F= force on the spring

K= force constant

e = extension

But e= 8.50 × 10^-2m

F= weight = 12.0 kg × 10 = 120 N

K = F/e = 120/8.50 × 10^-2

K= 1411.8 N/m

Dafna11 [192]
When carrying extra weight, the space formed between the top of your head and the two axles of the motorcycle is called "load triangle". Because of a motorcycle's size and weight<span> and the fact that it has only two wheels, how to carry extra load is very important. One has to make sure that they are keeping the weight low and close to the middle of the motorcycle and keep the load evenly from side to side. Heavier items should be in the "load triangle".</span><span> </span>
