An object of mass 12.0 kg is placed on the pan of a spring-powered scale. the spring constant of the scale is 31.3 n/cm. what distance will the spring be compressed?

Distance, x = 3.75 cm

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of the object, m = 12 kg

Spring constant of the scale, k = 31.3 N/cm

To find,

The distance compressed by the spring.

Solution,

We know that Hooke's law is used to find the force and the distance compressed. Its mathematical expression is given by :

x = 3.75 cm

So, the spring will be compressed to a distance of 3.75 cm.

the skeletons of most mammals reach a certain size and then stop growing. however, many animals, including some mammals, keep growing throughout their lives. kangaroos, for example, just keep growing and growing until they die. also, the longer an animal lives the greater the chance it might catch some deadly disease.
