Using hooke's law, you find the spring constant of a given spring to be 8.0 n/m 0.6 n/m. your lab partner uses simple harmonic motion and finds the spring constant to be 8.9 n/m 0.5 n/m. would you consider these two springs to have the same spring constant?

a. yes

b. no

c. not enough info

Yes

Explanation:

Given

Using Hooke's law value of spring constant is

so the range of k varies from

i.e. from 8-0.6 to 8+0.6=7.4 to 8.6 N/m

From SHM experiment

Spring constant obtained are

range

range=8.9-0.5  to 8.9+0.5

range=8.4 to 9.4 N/m

as both range is coinciding at some Point therefore it can be consider that the spring is same                

a. vertically

explanation:

i tried it and took the test

if im wrong then we have different tests
