Answer to Question #201023 in Physics for Edwin

Question #201023

A 50 N force causes a spring to compress 0.09 m.

Expert's answer

What is the spring constant? What is the potential energy of the spring?

"F=k\\Delta x\\to k=F\/\\Delta x=50\/0.09=555.56\\ (N\/m)"

"PE=k(\\Delta x)^2\/2=555.56\\cdot0.09^2\/2=2.25\\ (J)"
