Question
I find a spring that is labeled "80 N/m" but it is actually
3.5 inches long, before being hung from a beam.
When I hang a cylinder from that spring's bottom
hook, and lower it gently to stretch the spring, the
bottom hook displaces downward 62 mm.
What Force should the spring's bottom hook be
exerting?
{ aside: where is the spring's bottom now? }
{ follow-up: what mass does the cylinder
contain? }
4.96 N upward
12.08 N downward
O 2.16 N upward
O 12.08 N upward
4.96 N downward
O 151 N downward
49.6 N upward
49.6 N downward
