Calculate the elongation of the bundle with a stiffness factor of 5 * 10 ^ 3 N / m with an applied force of 5 * 10 ^ 3 N / m

Initial data: k (coefficient of harness stiffness) = 5 * 10 ^ 3 N / m; F (force applied to the harness) = 5 * 10 ^ 3 N.

Since the elastic force of the bundle compensates for the force that was applied to the bundle, its elongation can be determined by the formula (Hooke’s law): F = Fcont. = k * x, whence x = F / k.

Let’s calculate: x = 5 * 10 ^ 3 / (5 * 10 ^ 3) = 1 m.

Answer: The lengthening of the bundle is 1 m.
