stant 600 N. As she steps onto the scale, the force pushing down on the top of the spring varies from 0 to 600 N, with an average value of 300 N, as it is compressed 0.010 m. The total work done on the spring is the average force (300 N) multiplied by the displacement (0.010 m), or 3.0 J. Suppose we want to modify the scale to permit a weight of 800 NN when the spring is compressed 1.5 cmcm. What should the force constant of the spring be?
