Question

A spring is hung from a ceiling, and an object attached to its lower end stretches the spring by a distance d = 6.30 cm from its unstretched position when the system is in equilibrium as in the figure below. If the spring constant is 53.0 N/m, determine the mass of the object.

A spring is hung from a ceiling, and an object attached to its lower end stretches the spring by a distance d = 6.30 cm from its unstretched position when the system is in equilibrium as in the figure below. If the spring constant is 53.0 N/m, determine the mass of the object.

Explanation / Answer

f = k * x

m * 9.8 = 53 * 6.3 / 100

m = 0.3407 kg
