Question
Hooke’s law describes a certain light spring of unstretched length 34.8 cm. When one end is attached to the top of a doorframe and a 8.22 kg object is hung from the other end, the length of the spring is 40.8 cm. (a) Find its spring constant. 1342.6 kN/m (b) The load and the spring are taken down. Two people pull in opposite directions on the ends of the spring, each with a force of 205 N. Find the length of the spring in this situation. m

Answer:
a)
, b) 
Explanation:
a) The Hooke’s law states that spring force is directly proportional to change in length. That is to say:
In this case, the force is equal to the weight of the object:
The spring constant is:
b) The length of the spring is:
