A large spring requires a force of 130 N to compress it only 0.01 m.What is the spring constant of the spring?
A)13 N/m
B)13 000 N/m
C)1.3 N/m
D)130 N/m
E)6 500 N/m

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The spring constant (k) is given by the formula:
k = F/x
where F is the force applied and x is the distance by which the spring is compressed.
Substituting the given values:
k = 130 N / 0.01 m = 13 000 N/m
Therefore, the spring constant of the spring is 13 000 N/m, which is option B.
