Answer:
160N/m
Explanation:
According to Hooke's law which states that the extension of an elastic material is directly proportional to the applied force provided that the elastic limit is not exceeded. Mathematically,
F = ke where
F is the applied force
k is the spring constant
e is the extension
From the formula k = F/e
Since the body accelerates when the block is released, F = ma according to Newton's second law of motion.
The spring constant k = ma/e where
m is the mass of the block = 0.4kg
a is the acceleration = 8.0m/s²
e is the extension of the spring = 2.0cm = 0.02m
K = 0.4×8/0.02
K = 3.2/0.02
K = 160N/m
The spring constant of the spring is therefore 160N/m
A modern statement of Charles's law is: When the pressure on a sample of a dry gas is held constant, the Kelvin temperature and the volume will be in direct proportion. ... The equation shows that, as absolute temperature increases, the volume of the gas also increases in proportion.

The reason the efficiency is always less than 100% is because there is always some sort of friction in the machine.
Answer: because of friction
