Robin hood had to apply a force of 50 n to stretch the bowstring by 10 cm. what is the equivalent spring constant of the bowstring?

Respuesta :

Equation to use:

F = kx

F = Force (N)

k = spring/force constant

x = displacement (m)

Known:

F = 50 N

x = 10 cm ---> 0.1 m

^^^To use the equation F = kx you must convert x into meters

Plug in what you know to the equation F = kx

50 = 0.1k

Now solve for k

k = 500 N/m

The spring constant is 500 N/m

Hope this helped!
