A spring is fixed to a wooden board with 2 masses suspend from it. The spring has stretched 6 cm. If m1 = 13 kg and m2 = 3 kg, what is the spring constant of the spring?
Stretch in spring
Tw masses
Let k be the spring constant -
Then Restoration force in the spring
Then Weight of masses =
From eqn.(1) and (2) we have-
hence The spring Constant is 2613.33N/m.
