A spring has a length of 0.298 m when a 0.300 kg mass hangs from it, and a length of 0.750 m when a 3.12 kg mass hangs from it. (Due to the nature of this problem, do not use rounded intermediate values in your calculations—including answers submitted in WebAssign.) (a) What is the force constant of the spring? (Use 9.8 m/s2 for g.) (b) What is the unloaded length of the spring?
