What equation is used to calculate the elastic force used in changing the objects length?

• F = mg

• F = k x

• F = EQ

• F = PA

The spring constant of an object tells you?

• What type of spring you are dealing with

• How long the spring will stretch or compress

• It gives you a value on how easy or hard it is to change the objects length.

• A spring constant gives you a number which tells you what material the spring is made of.

Calculate the force that changes the spring length by 0.25m, when the spring's spring constant is 350Nm^-1.
