The drawing shows three identical springs hanging from the ceiling. nothing is attached to the first spring, whereas a 4.5 n block hangs from the second spring. a block of unknown weight hangs from the third spring. from the drawing, determine

<Continuation of the question>

(a) the spring constant (in N/m) and

(b) the weight of the block hanging from the third spring.

the distance for the first spring is 20cm, the second 35cm, the third 50cm.

a) To find the spring constant, we'll use the formula

F=kx, if we make k the subject we'll get

k=F/x, where F=4.5N, x = 35cm - 20cm = 15cm = 0.15m

k=F/x = 4.5N/0.15m =  30N/m is the Answer

b) to find the weight of block hanging on third spring

we use the formula F=kx

where k = 30N/m, x=50cm-20cm=30cm=0.30m

F=kx = (30N/m)*(0.30m) = 9N  is the Answer

are there answer choices to this question? this seems like a question where you have options to choose from.

i dont think you are wrong for wanting to get even with someone who did you wrong.

(i'm an eye for an eye kind of person) but if this person hurt you in a sexual way, i dont suggest doing anything to him. he should be taken to the proper authorities, you could go to jail depending on what you do. if it was something small like your sibling took your spot on the couch, than yea, i would get even with him by taking one of his favorite snacks lol. but i dont suggest you doing anything illegal.
