A block of mass 5 kg is attached to a horizontal spring with a spring constant of 200 N/m. How much will the spring stretch when a force of 20 N is applied to the block?
Q1. A block of mass 5 kg is attached to a horizontal spring with a spring constant of 200 N/m. How much will the spring stretch when a force of 20 N is applied to the block?
Answer: 0.1 m
Explanation: The displacement of the spring can be calculated using Hooke's law, F = kx, where F is the applied force, k is the spring constant, and x is the displacement, giving a displacement of 0.1 m.
