Question

1. A body of mass 2 kg is suspended from a spring of negligible mass, and is found to stretch the spring 20 centimeter. What is the spring constant?

Answer 1

what's the equation again?

Answer 2

f = -kx

Answer 3

2kg * 9.8m/s^2 = f

Answer 4

2cm = 0.02m <<< x, then solve for k

Answer 5

19.6 = -k20

Answer 6

you have to convert 20cm into m because acceleration due to gravity is in meters

Answer 7

Ohhh thanks thanks so 980=-k?

Answer 8

i guess yeah

Answer 9

-980 can be a spring constant?

Answer 10

i think that's how it's usually expressed, i can't remember though. ask the physics study group roflmao
