What is the spring constant for the spring associated with this graph?
When a 100.0-kg man stands on a pogo stick, the spring is compressed 0.250 m.
What is the force constant of the spring?
A student conducting a lab experiment is asked to find the spring constant for two identical springs shown above. The student concludes that the spring constant can be calculated by dividing the force of the spring by the distance the spring is stretched or k = F/x. She concludes that the force of the spring is F = 2.5N and that the displacement of the spring is x = .9m. She divides 2.5N by .9m and concludes that the spring constant k is equal to 2.78 N/m. What is the mistake the student made? Study the picture above and choose the best answer.
The picture above shows two identical springs. One is pulled down by a mass of 250 grams. What is the spring constant?
