if a spring has a spring constant of 2 N/m and it is stretched 5 cm, what is the force of the spring?
Added by Tracey D.
Step 1
So, 5 cm = 0.05 m. Then, we use Hooke's Law, which states that the force exerted by a spring is equal to the spring constant times the displacement (stretch length). Show more…
