What force is necessary to stretch a spring $34 \mathrm{~cm}$ if its spring constant is $265 \mathrm{~N} / \mathrm{m}$ ?
A $35-\mathrm{N}$ force is applied to a spring with spring constant $k=260 \mathrm{~N} / \mathrm{m}$. How much does the spring stretch?
$\bullet$ $\bullet$ A spring of force constant 300.0 $\mathrm{N} / \mathrm{m}$ and unstretched length 0.240 $\mathrm{m}$ is stretched by two forces, pulling in opposite directions at opposite ends of the spring, that increase to 15.0 $\mathrm{N} .$ How long will the spring now be, and how much work was required to stretch it that distance?
