A spring, with a spring constant of 750 N/m, is hung vertically from the ceiling. If a mass of 500 kg is added to this spring, how much will it elongate?
The left end of a spring is attached to a wall. When Bob pulls on the right end with a 200N force, he stretches the spring by 20 cm. The same spring is then used for a tug of war between Bob and Carlos. Each pulls on his end of the spring with a 200N force. How far does the spring stretch. Explain
