Under the action of a force of 20 N, the spring lengthened by 0.1 m. The stiffness of the springs is?

To solve the presented problem, it is necessary to use the formula that relates the values of the elastic force: stiffness and elongation.

Let’s write the formula for the elastic force of the body:

Fcont = kx

or

Fcont = kΔl.

Hence the stiffness of the spring is:

k = Fcont / x = 20 N / 0.1 m = 200 N / m.

Answer: 200 N / m.
