A 2.20kg mass is attached to a spring and placed on a horizontal, smooth surface. A horizontal force of 21.3N is required to hold the mass at rest when it is pulled 0.190m from its equilibrium position (the origin of the x axis). The mass is now released from rest with an initial displacement of xi = 0.190m, and it subsequently undergoes simple harmonic oscillations. Calculate the force constant of the spring

k=F/x=21.3/0.19 = 112 N/m
