How much will the spring lengthen if, upon its deformation, an elastic force of 80N occurs? The spring rate is 10kN / m

Task data: Fcont. (the elastic force arising from the deformation of the taken spring) = 80 N; k (coefficient of spring stiffness) = 10 kN / m (10 * 10 ^ 3 N / m).

The elongation of the taken spring is expressed from the formula: Fcont. = | k * Δx | and Δx = Fcont. / k.

Let’s perform the calculation: Δx = 80 / (10 * 10 ^ 3) = 8 * 10 ^ -3 m = 8 mm.

Answer: The taken spring should have lengthened by 8 mm.
