The spring when loaded by 1 kg extends by 1 cm. What is the spring constant of the spring?

Solution

Mass of the load = 1 kg 
Distance by which spring extends, x = 1 cm
We have, 
                   kx = mg
Therefore, 
The spring constant of the spring is,
straight k equals mg over straight x equals fraction numerator 1 cross times 9.8 over denominator 0.01 end fraction equals 980 straight N divided by straight m
