Answer:
300 N/m
Explanation:
given,
Load attached to the spring, W = 54 N
length of stretch of the spring, x = 0.15 m
spring constant= ?
Force applied on the spring is calculated by the equation
F = k x
where k is the spring constant
x is the displacement of the spring due to applied load
now,
54 = k × 0.15
hence, the spring constant is equal to 300 N/m
