How much will the spring be compressed under the action of a force of 10 N, if its stiffness is 500 N / m.

To find the amount of compression of the specified spring, you must use Hooke’s law: F = Fcont = k * x and x = F / k.

Variables: F – compressive force (F = 10 N); k – stiffness of the specified spring (k = 500 N / m).

Calculation: x = F / k = 10/500 = 0.02 m or 20 mm.

Answer: The compression of the specified spring is 20 mm.
