To find the elastic constant (spring constant) of a spring, you can use Hooke's Law, which states:

\[ F = k \cdot x \]

Where:
- \( F \) is the force applied to the spring (in newtons),
- \( k \) is the spring constant (in newtons per meter),
- \( x \) is the extension (or compression) of the spring (in meters).

In this case, you have:
- \( F = 0.8 \, \text{N} \)
- \( x = 3 \, \text{m} \)

Rearranging the formula to find \( k \):

\[ k = \frac{F}{x} \]

Substituting the values:

\[ k = \frac{0.8 \, \text{N}}{3 \, \text{m}} \]

\[ k \approx 0.2667 \, \text{N/m} \]

Therefore, the elastic constant (spring constant) of the spring is approximately **0.267 N/m**.
