To determine the length of the spring when it is compressed by a force of 8 N, we first need to calculate the spring constant using the initial stretch and then find the new compression distance.

 

1. Calculate the Spring Constant

Given:

The original length of the spring = 15 cm

The stretch

The force applied

 

Using Hooke's Law:

 

2. Calculate the Compression Distance for an 8 N Force

Now, we want to find the compression distance when a force is a...
