A common technique used to measure the
force constant k of a spring is the following:
Hang the spring vertically, then allow a
mass m to stretch it a distance d from the
equilibrium position under the action of the
"load" mg.

m
94 N
Find the spring constant it the spring
is stretched a distance 12 m by a suspended
weight of 94 N. The acceleration of gravity is
9.8 m/s2
Answer in units of N/m.
