A spring has spring constant 0.3 m/newton. What force is neccessary to stretch the spring by 1.5 meters?
Use Hooke's Law, F=kx. Show all your steps.
We know that the Hooke's law states that the force 'F' needed to stretch or compress a spring by some distance 'a' is proportional to that distance. , where c is the spring constant. Given: A spring has spring constant 0.3 m/newton. Hence, the force is necessary to stretch the spring by 1.5 meters = 5 Newton.
