A force of 0.08N stretches an elastic spring by 2cm. Find the elastic constant of the spring.
To find the elastic constant of a spring, you need to measure the force applied to the spring and the resulting displacement. Then, you can use the formula k = F/x, where k is the elastic constant, F is the force, and x is the displacement.
The unit of measurement for the elastic constant is Newtons per meter (N/m) or Pascals (Pa).
A value of 0.08N represents the force applied to the spring. In order to find the elastic constant, you also need to know the displacement of the spring.
The displacement of a spring can be measured by using a ruler or a measuring tape. Measure the length of the spring when it is at rest and then measure it again when a force is applied to it. The difference between the two lengths is the displacement.
Yes, the elastic constant of a spring can change depending on factors such as the material of the spring, its length, and the temperature. It is important to re-measure the elastic constant if any of these factors change.
