The equation to work out acceleration would be the final velocity subtract the start velocity divided by the time. So... in order to answer the question we would need the time taken.
Cumulus? They are fluffy clouds that have flat bottoms. Is this what you need?
Answer:
0.48 N/cm
Explanation:
The original length is 10cm so with a force of 10cm, the extension will be 12.2-10=2.2 cm when force of 1N is exerted. Similarly, with a force of 3N, the extension is 16.4-10=6.4cm
The slope will be given by change in force/ change in extension and this is equivalent to the stiffness.
Change in force is 3-1=2 N
Change in exgension is 6.4-2.2=4.2 cm
The slope will be 2/4.2=0.4761904761904 N/cm
Rounded off, the slope is 0.48 N/cm and this is the stiffness of the spring.
