Question

The spring constant is 38 N/cm, the length of the spring is 5 cm, the relaxed length is 10 cm, and the object's mass is 3 kg.  This time, calculate the acceleration of the object in m/s2.  (If you think that we need more information, enter -100000.

Expert Solution
Step 1

Spring constant (k) = 38 Ncm = 3800 NmLength of the spring (L) = 5 cm Relaxed length of the spring (Lo) = 10 cmCompression of the spring (x) = 10 cm - 5 cm = 5 cm = 0.05 m mass of object (m) = 3 kg
