Answer:
k = 17043.5 N/m = 17.04 KN/m
Explanation:
First we need to find the force applied by safe pn the spring:
F = Weight of Safe
F = mg
where,
F = Force Applied by the safe on the spring = ?
m = mass of safe = 800 kg
g = 9.8 m/s²
Therefore,
F = (800 kg)(9.8 m/s²)
F = 7840 N
Now, using Hooke's Law:
F = kΔx
where,
K = Spring Constant = ?
Δx = compression = 46 cm = 0.46 m
Therefore,
7840 N = k (0.46 m)
k = 7840 N/0.46 m
<u>k = 17043.5 N/m = 17.04 KN/m</u>
Answer:
20 N/m
Explanation:
From the question,
The ball-point pen obays hook's law.
From hook's law,
F = ke............................ Equation 1
Where F = Force, k = spring constant, e = compression.
Make k the subject of the equation
k = F/e........................ Equation 2
Given: F = 0.1 N, e = 0.005 m.
Substitute these values into equation 2
k = 0.1/0.005
k = 20 N/m.
Hence the spring constant of the tiny spring is 20 N/m
