Question
A spring stretches $5.0 \mathrm{cm}$ when a $0.20 \mathrm{kg}$ block is hung from it. If a $0.70 \mathrm{kg}$ block replaces the $0.20 \mathrm{kg}$ block, how far does the spring stretch?
Step 1
Mathematically, this is represented as $F = -kx$, where $F$ is the force, $k$ is the spring constant, and $x$ is the displacement. Show more…

When a body of mass 0.25 kg is attached to a vertical massless spring, it is extended $5.0 \mathrm{cm}$ from its unstretched length of $4.0 \mathrm{cm} .$ The body and spring are placed on a horizontal frictionless surface and rotated about the held end of the spring at 2.0 rev/s. How far is the spring stretched?
Spring to stretch by $2.4 \mathrm{cm} .$ How much farther will the spring stretch if a $0.60 \mathrm{kg}$ block is added to the $1.2 \mathrm{kg}$ block?
