Find the spring constant k, in appropriate units,
Find the spring constant k, in appropriate units, in each of the following cases:
A. The force required to stretch the spring 1 cm from its natural length is 2 dynes.
B. The work required to stretch the spring 2 cm from its natural length is 1 erg.
C. A question to think about – why did I use CGS units here as opposed to SI units or the English system? What are the units of length in these systems?
D. For the spring in part A), find the work done to stretch the spring from a length of 1 cm to a length of 3 cm from its natural length.
