Physics

To determine the length of the spring when a force of 56 N is applied, we first need to calculate the spring constant using the initial stretch of the spring. Then, we can find the new stretch corresponding to the 56 N force and calculate the final length of the spring.

 

1. Calculate the Spring Constant

Given:

The original length of the spring = 14 cm

The initial stretch

The force applied

 

Using Hooke's Law:

 

2. Calculate the Stretch for a 56 N Force

Now, we want to find the stretch when a force is applied:
