A spring has spring constant 0.3 m/newton. What force is necessary to stretch the spring by 1.5 meters?

Use Hooke's Law, F = kx. Show all your steps.

1 answer

Given:
Spring constant, k = 0.3 m/newton
Stretch distance, x = 1.5 meters

Using Hooke's Law, F = kx, we can calculate the force necessary to stretch the spring by 1.5 meters.

F = 0.3 * 1.5
F = 0.45 newtons

Therefore, the force necessary to stretch the spring by 1.5 meters is 0.45 newtons.
