The stiffness of a particular spring is 42 N/m. One end of the spring is attached to a wall. A force of 2 N is required to hold the spring elongated a total length 17 cm. What was the relaxed length of the spring? Answer in units of m.

Explanation:

Given data

Force F=2 N

Length L=17 cm = 0.17 m

Spring Constant k=42 N/m

To find

Relaxed length of the spring

Solution

From Hooke's Law we know that

another example of kinetic energy would be,

kinetic energy   >     moving energy

answer   >   letter choice (c),   a hammer falling off a table.
