Question 2 1 pts A certain spring has a resting length of 0.08 m (8 cm) when it is not stretched. The spring is stretched to a length of 0.10 m (10 cm), 0.02 m beyond its natural length. Holding it in this stretched position requires a force of 20 N Question: What is the force function for this spring? Answer: Hooke's Law says that the force required to maintain the spring in a stretched position is the linear function F (x) k. Find the spring constant, k, for the spring described above, and enter that number as your final answer. Note: please count your zeros carefully before entering your answer

Explanation / Answer

Stretched length is x= 2cm=0.02m

Applied force = 20N

F=kx

k=F/x

k= 20/0.02 =1000kg/s2
