Question

A spring is hung from the ceiling. A 0.442-kg block is then attached to the free end of the spring. When released from rest, the block drops 0.150 m before momentarily coming to rest, after which it moves back upward. (a) What is the spring constant of the spring

Neala · Answer

Answer:  K=58.8N/m  Explanation:  From the question we are told that:  Mass M=0.442  Drop distance d=0.150  Generally the equation for Spring Constant is mathematically given by    K= frac{2mg}{x}    K= frac{2*0.442*9.8}{1.150}    K=58.8N/m
