    Hooke's Law- measurement of mass/weight

    Would be 5200 N because is weight. So for the mass, I would use the W=Mg formula. 5200=m9.8 M=530.6kg

    Hooke's Law- measurement of mass/weight

    Thanks for keeping up with me. I am new to physics. That means i would have to multiply 104*50 = 5200?

    Hooke's Law- measurement of mass/weight

    My unit for weight is N. And for Mass is Kg. I have not, didn't think about that. Thanks

    Hooke's Law- measurement of mass/weight

    Okay, so what you're telling me is that the equation will be Mg= k/∆L and not k=Mg/∆L/. using the new equation: Mg= k/∆L Mg= 104/50 which gives me 2.08 Mg= 2.08 so the weight would be 2.08?

    Hooke's Law- measurement of mass/weight

    A body of unknown mass hangs from a spring and stretches it to 50 cm. If the spring constant is 104 N/cm determine: a. the weight of the body b. the mass of the body k = mg/∆L W= Mg mass : k = mg/∆L 50/104= .4807692308 weight : W= Mg .4807692308*9.8=4.711538462
