    Calculating the Effective Spring Constant of a Charged DNA Molecule

    A molecule of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) is 2.09 µm long. The ends of the molecule become singly ionized: negative on one end, positive on the other. The helical molecule acts like a spring and compresses 1.09% upon becoming charged, and remains in this equilibrium position. Determine the...
