Under the action of a weight of 0.2 kg, the spring was stretched by 4 cm. Determine the spring stiffness.

Given:

m = 0.2 kg is the weight of the cargo;

l = 4 centimeters = 0.04 meters – spring tension;

g = 10 m / s ^ 2 – acceleration of gravity.

It is required to determine the stiffness of the spring k (N / m).

The force acting on the spring is:

F = m * g = 0.2 * 10 = 2 N.

Hardness is equal to:

k = F / l = 2 / 0.04 = 50 N / m.

Answer: the spring rate is 50 N / m.
