Homework Statement
A man compresses a 30 cm spring against a wall. If he applies a 100 N force and the wall is rigid, by how much does he shorten the spring? (k = 1000 N/m).
Homework Equations
Fs=-kx
The Attempt at a Solution
Drew a FBD and labeled applied force of 100 N and calculated the force of the spring resisting the applied force = 30N. At this point, I do not know where to go with this problem.
