The force (f) needed to stretch a spring by a distance x is
given by the equation f = k·x, where k is the spring
constant (measured in newtons per centimeter, or n/cm).
if a 12 newton force stretches a certain spring by 10 cm,
calculate each of the following. round your answers to the
nearest tenth.
a. the spring constant. k =
n/cm
b. the force needed to stretch the spring by 7 cm. f =
n
c. the distance the spring would stretch with a 23 n force. x =
cm
