Answer:
The magnitude of force must you apply to hold the platform in this position = 888.89 N
Explanation:
Given that :
Workdone (W) = 80.0 J
length x = 0.180 m
The equation for this work done by the spring is expressed as:
Making the spring constant 
the subject of the formula; we have:
Substituting our given values, we have:
The magnitude of the force that must be apply to the hold platform in this position is given by the formula :
F = 888.89 N
Hi there!
Question - Which of the following statements is true?
Answer - C. You are exposed to nuclear radiation every day.
Why - "radiation in the form of elementary particles emitted by an atomic nucleus, as alpha rays or gamma rays, produced by decay of radioactive substances or by nuclear fission."
A spring is an object that can be deformed by a force and then return to its original shape after the force is removed.
Springs come in a huge variety of different forms, but the simple metal coil spring is probably the most familiar. Springs are an essential part of almost all moderately complex mechanical devices; from ball-point pens to racing car engines.
There is nothing particularly magical about the shape of a coil spring that makes it behave like a spring. The 'springiness', or more correctly, the elasticity is a fundamental property of the wire that the spring is made from. A long straight metal wire also has the ability to ‘spring back’ following a stretching or twisting action. Winding the wire into a spring just allows us to exploit the properties of a long piece of wire in a small space. This is much more convenient for building mechanical devices.
