a 0.1 kg mass is suspended at rest from a spring near the Earth's surface, the distance that the spring is stretched is measured to be 1.0 cm. What is the spring constant of the spring (remember the MKS units)?
A mass of 2 kg is attached to a spring with constant 18 N/m. How far is the spring stretched?
A spring with a spring constant of 28.9 N/m is attached to different masses, and is stretched 5cm. What is the force exerted on the spring?

The force exerted on the spring is determined by Hooke's Law, which states that F = kx, where F is the force exerted on the spring and k is the spring constant (in this case, 28.9 N/m). Therefore, the force exerted on the spring is equal to the spring constant multiplied by the distance it is stretched (5 cm), resulting in a force of 144.5 N.
