F = kx
k = ?
OpenStudy (frostbite):
I guess F is the force and x is an displacement from a reference point? In that case we got that k is a force constant.
OpenStudy (anwar1098):
Yes
OpenStudy (frostbite):
So what is it exactly you want help to do with this equation?
OpenStudy (anwar1098):
If the equation if F = kx what will it be it is K =

I think it would be f/x but i dont know if it correct
OpenStudy (frostbite):
That is correct. :)
\[\Large F=k \times x \]
Divide on both sides of the equation with \(x\) and we get:
\[\Large k=\frac{ F }{ x }\]
OpenStudy (anwar1098):
thanks for the help but if you dont mind can you help me with another one
OpenStudy (frostbite):
Sure. Usually openstudy runs a policy of 1 question / post. But lets just take a look at the question in this post :)
OpenStudy (anwar1098):
F = Gm^2/r^2
G = ?
for this i think it is Fm^2/r^2

You meant:
\[\Large F=\frac{ G \times m^2 }{ r^2 }\]
?
OpenStudy (anwar1098):
yes that is it and it figured out the answer thanks for the help
OpenStudy (frostbite):
Good good. So you saw that you need to flip fraction?
G=Fr^2/m^2
Can't find your answer?
